Almost another Month done with!

Options
Payday next Tuesday and im on target for my savings challenge (ie 1100 left in my account) with a total left at the moment of 1270!

However im not overly pleased with myself as this is only the case for 2 reasons

1) Selling 90 quids worth of stuff on ebay
2) Winning 140 quid on the eurovision,

So in essence im 60 quid down (spent more than I should have on a couple of nights out this week) on my budget (boo hiss)

Never mind, thanks to the above ive more than made up for it, and will reach my target a lot easier, and next month ill see bigger rewards for the whole sandwiches/home made food for work.

So only this payday, Junes and July's to go and the egg card is history :)

(also so will my tax bill)

Then on to the final hurdle of the loan :)

    Yay!
    This year seems to by flying by don't it!
    Just wish my debt would fly by too!
    I work for the family business so my pay day is when I decide to pay us (i.e. me, bro and dad).
    Think I might pop off and do that now.

    Kevicho, you are doing sooo well! Keep up all the hard work.

    Well done Kev! It's certainly great to see others battling on regardless and making similar efforts to be DF... although i must admit i do find my motivation drops from time to time. all this sacrificing can certainly get you down in the dumps. i sometimes feel like i'm wishing my life away, awaiting the next payslip so i can reduce that debt even further.

    but i know it's worth it in the long run (I hope :) )

    Enough of this life sucks talk!

    Just think how much more it would suck if we all carried on the way we were before and got ourselves into much more of a pickle!!!

    So theres always something to be thankful for!

    Well done Kev, you're doing really well!!

    It makes you appreciate life, money, people even more so even the bad times you can try and take something out of.

    Well said Kev,

    I think some of the DFWers on here have more determination, focus and compassion than most people.

    And those are all good things to have in life.

    Once we're all DF nothing will stop us!
