  • Well done guys on the latest additions to your pots! :T

    Good idea about treating yourself to some posh perfume roxiepie, you deserve a special treat after all your hard work at clearing those debts and the Chanel perfume would be lovely!!

    I havent been doing super great, only another £2 added to my pot. I bought some fairly expensive concert tickets for my dad as a christmas gift (yep, that time of year already!!!) and so have just been paying bare minimums on my debts this month to afford them. Previously I would have just stuck the tickets on the credit card though & left them there for yonks so (in my defence, lol) at least they are completely paid for though, yay :D Hopefully able to stick more money in my pot this month!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Hey, £2 is still a good add!

    Less than 12 weeks away now, isnt it?! Well done on avoiding the credit card, its worth it even if it does slow your debt clearing for a little while. Will feel really good when you get to christmas and you know its all been paid for, with your own money too!

    Got me thinking now, I really should buy a few gifts this month...

    Chanel perfume - I'm not normally one for labels but I tried it in boots one lunchtime, and I couldn't stop smelling my wirsts all afternoon. I like the idea of having something luxurious on each day, because my clothes certainly arent!

    Keep going everyone, and let us know how you're getting on :T

    Ok, in for a penny. I will join and I will put in £1 for every £100 which should give me about £170.
    A treat for me would be the train fare to prague - hopefully by my birthday 2010!

    Another month, another £4 in the pot. £28 now. I need to revise my DFRP target though, as my 33rd Bday is in 22 months time and if I achieve this, the pot will be only £116 instead of £148. But I'll up my monthly contribution to £5 and so the new target will be £138. Will you update roxiepie please?

    First fiver in the pot so up to £33! On target so far, but things might get tighter as I've just moved so have to see how I'll be able to keep this challenge going.
