    I was wrong about having £80 in my penny jar! :(


    I've got £97! :rotfl:


    Don't really want to use it though. It's kind of my unofficial car insurance savings! :rolleyes:

    Well it's not only pennies. :o

    Got a big Budwesier bottle thing and at the end of each day I just throw in all my 1p's, 2p's, 5p's, 10p's, 20p's, and 50p's! Thats probably about 6 months worth!

    I used to chuck the quids in aswell but I just ended up withdrawing more from the bank! :rolleyes:

  • Well southernscouser, I have read through the whole of this thread as I thought it would be an interesting read, just want to say well done:beer: on getting this far!

    You've done so well on getting your debt down and being motivated to get the debt down. Don't give up, I know you said that the thought of doing this for the next 3 and a half years is doing your nugget in, but think of it as only 3 and a half years out of the rest of your life, now that isn't a lot is it now!!

    And then think about how much you have been paying off these debts each month, you will be able to save all this and earn loads of interest!!! How good will that be!!:D

    Keep it up, you've been an inspiration to me as well as LOADS of others have been to me on this forum, and for you to jack it all in now would be sad.

    Chat soon!

    Sorry to hear that!! Do you want to swap? It is a bit annoying when you have time off but no money to spend - I use to temp when I had holiday!! Meant I didnt get a break, but earned money whilst being paid for holiday!!
