    Worked out I've got about £65 a week after essentials are out. Was thinking of spending £50 a week on 'living' and putting £70 a month to debts?

    Just been trying to do my budget for 2010 - I am definately in the 'having a life' school of debt busting! :D Mine works out @ £400 per month for everything except bills, debt payments and petrol to work. Food, clothes, shoes :eek:, nails :eek: and any entertainment is included in the £400 :rolleyes:

    Debt free is so far away for me :o That's why I stick to the 'having a life' theory of debt busting :D

    I have Christmas cards to do too :rolleyes:

    Lol, don't tell me that! I literally have no space in my wardrobe for my shoes anymore!

    Well.. will have to have a shoe allowance. I figure there will be at least one pair per season that i'll NEED to buy... not want, NEED

    Surely you will NEED more than one pair :confused:

    I did say at least ;)

    But still... I tend to buy fairly expensive shoes. At $100-$250 a pop, and usually in excess of $180, I think I probably should stick to one pair a season til my C/C is paid off...:rolleyes:
