The 15k Paper Hat - It could be YOU!!!!!

CAFCGirl

Wow.....
I have never in my life posted a thread so successful I've been asked to make a second thread because it was so loooooooooooooooooooong!

Here's how it all started:

Hello :j

Following on from a post of mine called "I need a friend" a whole new "competition/challenge" was borne.

Now lots of people on this site are FANTASTIC, their motivation, upbeat nature and budgetting skills are the envy of many, and then theres a few others...

Those who for one reason or another just cant get on top of that spending diary, who always find a "better" use for that extra bit of change, and who can always find an excuse to spend a fortune in Primark (maybe thats just me )

So we need motivating, we need a regular kick up the rear to get moving and we need someone/or many people to shout at us and say STAY OUT OF PRIMARK!(again might just be me!)

Now noone is being mean by shouting at another so leave your feelings at the door with your shoes.
It takes a lot to be honest with yourself about whether or not you're doing all that you can, so I'm signing up for (well mannered) words of motivation, to see me get 15k of my outstanding debt paid off...

Day One : 17th October
CAFCGirl reporting for duty...

WHOSE WITH ME?!

We've all had our ups and downs, Doodles and I have claimed top spots :rotfl:....... but I know I speak for both of us when I say this thread saved us, so a massive thankyou to everyone on this thread for their continual support, love and compassion....

Summer may be nearly over, but this thread lives on....

I have just posted on your thread about the letter CAFC

hi cafcgirl et al - glad we are on a shiny new thread!

I have commented on your letter on the other thread!

Well done all on your beauty and housework missions while I have been away! Scarily I also got my hair done yesterday! House still looks the same tho!

Well done to those who cleared some debt too! I too had the problem wiht virgin you have - I rang up for a balance - paid the exact amount off and then got stuck with more interest charges.... I think they add their interest later or something...

Hi

I'm still here!!!

Nothing much doing today? Was meant to be sorting the house out but went to the Car Boot Sale and came home and OH has spent all afternoon looking for the bits for the bunk beds and can't find them (the man loses everything, we couldn't find the cot screws so had to borrow my mum's ones as she has the same cot as us, he loses and breaks everything he touches as do the kids). So the house is still a right tip which I'm gutted about as I hate living like this but just don't know what to do with everything.

Didn't win the Euromillions (didn't get one number) so can't share it with everyone.

Back later.

OK letter changed, thanks everyone....

I went rock climbing today and managed to get to the WOOWOO! Kicked by soon to be ex-employers butt as well.....

Tomorrow we're going out for lunch with family and then we're getting all our numbers ready for payplan...

:hello: Lovely new thread in which we're all going to kick !!!!

Only popped on quickly to find out why I'm having problems with property bee but couldn't resist a peak at Paper hat thread only to find we have a spanky new one :j

Sorry to hear about the job CAFC but I'm sure it'll end up being the best for you. Why did CCCS never get back to you? Deffo heard better things about them.

Lovely to get offer of big rock Doodles :beer:

Hope everyone else doing well.

My good news is I resisted buying a half price Orla Kiely handbag today. Those of you who know me well will realise thats a triumph :rotfl:

hiya guys! Have caught up on the last thead,but haven't read this one yet as on a flying visit.

Just couple of things, had a lovely walk with bf today and staying at his. Seeing a friend on tuesday and chatting to her about my options.

And doodle and cafc - so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I moved in with my ex within a month and lived with him for 5 years, so used to quick action,so present situation not ideal. Not myself for marriage and such, but like commitment!

Take care you all. Oh ps. Bristol is a nice place!

CAFCGirl

Well Done Shelley, we're all really proud of you!!!

Not sure why they never got back to me, to be fair i didnt really give it a second thought as so far payplan have been very good...
