  • Hi No DebtDiva

    I hope you don't mind but I'm copying your fab idea of paying £1 a day. I really need some small thing every day to keep me on track and I hope this will help. I really lose motivation at times too.

    Enjoy the x factor tonight. I'm rooting for Stacey.

    Luckycharm - of course you're more than welcome to join us - the more the merrier!

    Shame about poor Stacey - we're rooting for Joe tonight!!

    I have started putting together my plan of action for 2010 - am going to try and complete the spreadsheet this afternoon (have to finish my Christmas cards first!!).

    Have a nice day.....

    Hi

    I have just paid a further £500 towards my credit card - we had saved up to go away in the New Year but this doesn't look likely at the moment, so I've used this money to decrease the debt!!

    Having a good day so far. Have tidied the kitchen, put some washing on, played with the children and hoovered the lounge. Going to plod along for the rest of the day, taking it nice and easy (with 2 children under 5 this is no mean feat!!!)

    You can always save up again or get a cheaper deal if it does come likely that you'll go away somewhere :) You've been a very busy bee this morning....I've done nothing! LOL

    Off to pay my £1 to a card and then do some daily clicks. Oooh, I went through all the cashback sites that I've signed up to and found £34 in one that I could claim so will pay that off a card when it comes through. Really chuffed that I bothered to look else it may have disappeared after a year or 2!
  • Hi

    It's mental at the moment - seem to be buried under a mound of wrapping paper and sellotape!!!

    Just checking in to make sure everyone's OK and let you know that I'm keeping up with my daily £1s xx

    All presents bought here but haven't even started wrapping anything yet! I *think* it might be my pay day tomorrow as I'm sure that my work used to pay Christmas wages a week early.
  • Hello!

    I've had a great week. Continued to pay my daily £1s, hubby and I have discussed what we would like to change within our marriage, so we're sorted, DD and DS have just been so cute when singing carols and I've nearly finished my Chrimbo shopping!

    Novagirl, hope you were paid! My pay day is tomorrow so I'll be budgeting like mad tonight as January will be such a longgggg month!

    Have a great day!

    Aww that's fab news about hubby!

    ...yep, I was paid. I'm now sitting here trying to get some barcodes to transmit for shop and scan but the website won't load.GRRR.

    Have had a few wins on bingo britain so will be paying that off the cards as soon as it comes to my bank account.
