Hey dudes! Quickly catching up while I eat lunch (at 3.30pm AGAIN:rolleyes:).

Yesterday I actually managed a NSD! Tra la laa.

Today - nope - brought a Frusli bar after a V long meeting (no lunch provided!) Oh well

Hun you could class them as essentials. Especially if you make money on the back of the purchase? I'm sure RM wouldn't be too strict about it xx

No need! I managed to have a rummage in a basket of stuff under the stair and found a pile of half used batteries (OH insists on keeping them because although they won't work for most things they will still work for remote controls for ages! Very MSE I suppose) anyways- I managed to find one set with enough juice to use the camera! Huzzah!!

Just seen Laura, you debt is now under £5k, well done. I think you, Ebs, Princess and Rupe are all going to be Debt free very soon.

xxxxxx

Thanks

It will be a while yet though. It has taken since last Nov to get this far so probably another 18 months off yet.

Still, I'm pleased with the progress. If you had said to me this time last year that I would have paid off nearly £2k, saved £250 for christmas, paid £800 back into savings, saved £100 towards hol next year, got a passport and had two weekends away and not even looked at a credit card I would have laughed in you face. Seriously, died laughing! :rotfl:

hello Rupe! Enjoy your frusli bar love long meetings are the worst I hate them! I was in one last week that went on for over two hours, I've never doodled so much in my life :rolleyes:

Good on you Loz for finding batteries, I was getting ready to raid the stationery cupboard

Right, I'm offski for a bit. Going to write up a listing for some Slimming World stuff. I'm including quite a few bits and pieces and as they are going for reasonable cash (£20+) I want to give it a good description so that it goes well

That is REALLY impressive Laura, well done love :T:T:T

I wish I had more motivation to pay off debt. But at the moment not got a spare penny - my pub wages are to pay off the overdraft. I just have to stick to it

Tash I doubt I'll be done by xmas - I am aiming for my birthday though which is six months away (I'm now 23 and a half :eek:) so that's plenty time I think? I will then be back to where I was when I turned 21 - I will have racked up £10k debt and paid it off in 3 years. That's my idea anyway. It really depends on the job sitch.

Talking of which - Jess and Rubes, any news?

Hi all,
Quickly sneaking on - not going to be a NSD for me today - DH has decided that we're going to the bed shop to buy our bed tonight and it's huuugely expensive (don't think the PS3 will come anywhere near covering it).
Ebs - think the real problem with that book was that it depicted a woman enjoying sex - a real taboo then, we were meant to lie back and think of England!

laura2481

Right- I'm back. Have got 3 items ready to go on Turbolister so all i have to do on Thursday is hit the 'go' button and it''ll upload to ebay. Think I need a cup of tea to celebrate! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Hmmm we need a new bed too... wonder if I can convince OH to sell his Xbox360? Yep, I'm sure he would 'when satan can skate home' as Rubes would say! :rotfl:
