  • £50 voucher, thats great, I wish I was that lucky! have still only won the revlon thing!!

    I shop for 3 and a cat, but do my meal plans around leftovers and offers. Luckily I have a relitavely large freezer so that when meat is on offer, I get a few and freeze them, only having to buy veg he following week. I also buy cafood and toiletries on offer, so always have LOADS, so that when I need to me more frugal I can live with the surplus!

    Have ordered some more from Mr T this week, and reckon that it will be in the region of £30 this time.

    Only problem with buying and freezing is that I forget I have it! right now I have so much stewing seak it is unbelievable, but hotpot is always good, and thats what we will be having this week!

    :hello: Hey!

    I've been in Lurksville for a while but just popping in to say YAY! :T Your CC will be done and dusted tomorrow! Such an acheivment-well done :T:j:beer:

    As for Vegas, I'm so jealous! I went a few years back and it is one of my fave places. And it is somewhere that you can do on a budget too! It's not expensive to eat and drink (or wasn't when I was there in 2006) it's just the pretty shiny machines and tables you might need to watch! The view of it when you land is spectacular. Ooh I might have just started the inkling of a goal to head towards for my debt free date! :D

  • By today itll be paid off so well done Kirsten ! :)
  • Its official...my credit card is paid off!!

    my goal was valenines, which aint too bad, 5 days off target!!

    unforunately, my washing machine has died, so next months planned overpayment on the loan is actually going to be used to buy a new one.
    However its a big change to be able to afford it without having to get it on credit.

    Oh claire, your credit card has gone too, well done!!
