    Yes, I will admit that had I not already booked my week away, it would very definitely have been a "nice idea but......."

    As it is, it is SUCH a shame that I can't cancel and get a refund :rolleyes:

    The timing was good :D

    and I am sure you will come up with the goods but I still feel they are asking a lot especially as you have to pay for two you would think they would have a better system than this:rolleyes:

    LT - get on the snowball calculator and work out what you have to find each month in order to be debt free in time - then set yourself a workable target, and I am sure you can do it!!

    Sorry that you will have the hassle of finding a new job, but I am a great believer in sometimes the best decisions are those that are made for you.

    my trouble is my debt is 3 loans, one isn't front loaded with interest so i'm making the payment and saving more than that again so i can pay it off a year early. The plan is then to snowball it into the next loan which again would be the following year (makes it 2 years early) and then the final one is 0% hence why only paying the agreed amount and then throwing the whole snowballed amount to it for the final 6 months. As it is i pay/save almost half my salary against debt each month, and i'm still paying about 75% of the household bills. Guess i'm just going to have to find new ways of making money. Best scout around for some more bingo sites or something so i can discover them before they change the rules against me :( sorry feeling a little down what with the flu and everything. I'll be ok soon and raring for the challenge. Should have kept quiet yesterday when i said i was wanting a new challenge.

    So, your first "new" challenge LT, is to get yourself well. Get your batteries recharged and then focus on the rest of it.......at which time you will have the energy to find all the ways of making money that you need.
