The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

I've paid off about that amount in a year so would say it is possible but obviously you never know what is around the corner, something to aim for though!

I'd say 9/10 months but that might be pushing it. I think if he had the oomph behind him he could do it in that time frame easily - I mean dinah did 10x that debt in less than 9 months! But we're majorly jinxed money wise so who knows?

If he wants to anyone can pay off £1800 in 9 months, but its a case of whether you have the motivation to clear it, or aren't willing to make any lifestyle changes. You've said before what his rent is, I know he runs the car and took out a loan as well, but even if hes on minimum wage its perfectly possible.

Yes was on a one day business start up course today. It was dire! I knew more than the woman teaching it.

NIM and I went for tea afterwards to chiquitos, and it was really poor, the food was burnt and the chips tasted like they were in old grease. We complained to the manager and we got the whole thing free! So we treated ourselves to ice-cream at the cinema. Incidentally, don't see 'Away we go', seems plots are an added bonus but not nessisary nowadays.

Went to Middlehaven Tete and did the second part of the course sign up. Be warned, they photograph you when you least expect it. Apparently the course starts on the 23rd.

Cinny - im sure with you behind him, your OH will pay off his debt in no time!
OH gets paid in two days and we still have £120 left so hopefully that will be a nice big chunk off the credit card!

Morning,

Well since the weather was beautiful last night, OH and I went out. She wanted to go shopping at Westfield in London. Was a good night, she got about 90 minues round the shops and came away with 3 pairs of shoes for less than £50. Half price knickers for a pair she has lost as part of a set and a pair of jeans - full price though which she liked in Jane Norman - she got a shock when she could get into the size 10s.

Traffic was manic as usual on the way in and the shut the M4 on the way home so long detour. Didn't get back till gone 10pm.

At least I didn't spend anything so a NSD for me yesterday!

Dinah93

Yey on the NSD. NIM was all chuffed we were having an NSD with the free meal yesterday, but then we bought ice cream :rolleyes:

Need to pack up all the ebay/amazon/RiSi parcels tonight to send tomorrow. Also catch up on bingoport, surveys, and do some listing on ebay.

Realised this morning we might yet need two cars. every wednesday I won't be coming home because of this course, how will NIM get home without a car?! Guess a taxi would be cheaper, but say he needs a taxi 6 evenings a month thats going to be about £60 minimum.... what if eh needs it more?! Urgh, my head is spinning!

Have been asked to go on a leadership course at church this Saturday, but I don't really have time to follow through with it what with the painting, the course, my church group on a Monday and so on. Besides which if it is nice weather on Saturday I really want to take NIM to the forbidden corner for a nice day out.

Don't know if I mentioned it but Amazon refunded us for the knackered camera really quickly, chuffed with that!

Tesco have emailed to say the OU vouchers have been dispatched, fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow.

No weight loss this week, although the ladies on the lose weight thread say you can put on up to 5 lbs when its TOTM, so hoping I've actually lost, but its camoflagued!

Flower08

Morning everyone,

Its very quiet on here this morning!!

Poolie - sounds like your OH got some bargains! Bit of a nightmare about the traffic though!

Not long til payday! OH and i have never managed to save £100 out of his weekly paycheque and it looks like we're still on track for saving that, yay!
