Ring doughnuts are also calorie free as all the calories fall through the hole in the middle. Jam doughnuts unfortunately do have calories BUT are very good for you as jam contains fruit and is one of your 5 a day.;):T.

Well, seeing as we are all in agreement on the broken biscuit/holes in donut theories did you know that the jam in a jammie dodger counts as one of your five a day and of course chocolate originating from the bean must also count ?

kirstenc

It's good to see that we are all on the same wavelength..in that case, it must be true!!

now the same applies with cash..the chocolate coins the kids get at xmas are all valid in banks throughout the UK. Monopoly money is a bit trickier, I heard that Mr T doesnt take it, but Mr M certainly does lol

And always remember to count carrot cake as a veg portion :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oooh the things I learn on here didn't know about carrot cake of Monopoly money, what if you have the Simpsons version of the game ?

Right well update time. Snowball says I have paid off £243.73 of my total debt in the last month. DFD is September 2013. 4 years. Mmmm, think I've been treading water a little. Easy to blame school uniform purchases, utility bills and the like really just a case of tighter hold on purse.

Beastly Marbles balance is £7133.00 only paid minimum payment, which means it's only £4.00 lower. Mini challenge to myself to get it below £6900 by next statement inc interest ?

Weather is totally dire here in Dorset. May potter about a bit and challenge the boys to a bit of a Wii tournament later, unless there's a good movie on.

the summer hols are always a difficult time to be debtbusting - whatever we do, there is something that needs paying for! But the fact that the debt has gone down shows that you are doing plenty of the right things!

The mini challenge sounds good to me - I am sure you will be able to get it to £6900.

Enjoy your day! I've got yet more digging to do.....my leg muscles feel worse than they did when I ran the marathon!!

Thats £243 less than last month. Well done. If you carry on with this sort of success you would still clear £3K a year. Thats got to be a good thing. Well done. Have a cuppa to celebrate!!!

kirstenc

Great inroads on the debtbusting DC. well done!
even though the difference is only £4 on the card, even if you pay the same on it this month, the interest charged will be lower and you will make more of a difference! Your target sounds doable though, good luck!!
