    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Something weird is going on here! :think:

    13 days to payday and after all my bills have come out I'll still have nearly £510 left! Plus I made an extra £300 payment this month! :)

    Will need to fill up with petrol so that will be £45 odd but other than that I don't really see anything else I need to spend! :j

    Be great to throw maybe another £300 to the debts with this months money coz next month I should be able to whack another £750 on top of the normal £750 coz of all the overtime I've done! :D

    By my reckoning that will be about £2,500 in 2 months plus I've got a couple of hundred to come back from Quidco! :dance:

    Piece of p!ss this debt malarky ain't it? :p :rotfl:

    Hmmmm.... don't wantb to p*ss on your parade SS but in my experience £500 extra in the bank normally means payment of £750 hasn't gone out & you're actually £250 woese off than you thought :confused: .

    if I'm wrong then it's :money: :money: :money: :money: time!!!!!!!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
