  • And how did the rest of the weekend go?
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    And how did the rest of the weekend go?

    I was working yesterday and today (boo!), then went for a curry with some of the guys for work (very healthy!). T'was good fun. :)

    I also picked up some bargains in the Next sale for my Godson's Christmas present, so that's the present buying started - how organised!

    Hey PaF (and Taxi)!

    It was a good night, thanks. A much-needed one at that, as well. :)

    I'm just number crunching again, and I think I may have discovered a flaw in the plan. It's really annoying me that the money sent to my savings account is shown as having transfered to my savings account in the the SA, but hasn't yet left the CA. To top it all off, loads of transactions haven't been processed out of the CA either, meaning it's a bit tough to see exactly where I am. Grr!

    Also, I'm suffering from information overload: I don't know about you guys, but I'm sat here trying to login to various accounts and the number of login names, passwords etc. I'm supposed to be able to remember has now hit critical mass. I try to make life easier by making sure that it's something easy to remember, but in all seriousness I must not have literally dozens, and it's all got a bit out of hand. *Sigh*

    Ah well, onwards and upwards. It's a busy day today, so I had best get going before my get up and go gets up and wanders off! ;)

    Nope, it certainly isn't! ;)

    Savings have just hit the savings account. I now have £461.30 tucked away (but some of it is for bills next month, so they're not 'proper' savings, per se) and will come out later. I still have my mobile bill to come out of my account, and bits and one or two unexpected things to pay for, by the looks of it, so I will take out a bit if I have to. But only if I really have to.

    It's nice to have a positive balance for once. :)

    I'm happy: sold a fairly large white good on Ebay last free listing day, and the new owner came to collect today.

    I barely got anything for it, but I'm not that fussed: it's one more thing off hand and out of my room, so that's a great start to the decluttering, of which I really need a LOT (I tried tidying up the other day, and there is so much carp that I just moved it all from one place to another, then back again. Even when I thought I had succeeded in tidying it up a bit, it looked just the same, despite the removal of the big white goods box.

    I have to face it: the clutter has now taken over, and only just allows me bed room.

    I really need to evict it.

    Bu first, I'd better carry on with my skoolwork: muscle homework. ;)
