    Already am/have been for a while. As I said above I am tempted to throw them on the CC for now. The problem being if I use the holiday money is I will have nothing for holiday. April's outgoings are actually over what I have income wise £513 out, £500 in. Then in May I actually go and have £420 out, £500 in :o Therefore I have nothing to go with (except the £55 Mum owes me). Its not as if its all inclusive and we stay on site either. We do something ever day, we spend at least £80+ on pertrol and I need to make contributions...

    Maybe the meet in Feb wasn't a good idea after all :(

    Sorry, I didn't see that you'd posted as I was typing (I type slow :o )

    I didn't realise your CC % was so low.... defo put them on the CC then! You can't be doing yourself much good running in wellies... I'm sure Sally can tell you better, she's a runner!

  • Thanks all, well I have put them on my CC, that means its nearly maxed :eek: One step forward and two back... However its all for the good really, I would have needed to buy them before June either way. Beanie, they are off-road/trail trainers, basically a running shoe but with better soles so it can cope with me running around the bog :rotfl: I will be asking work tomorrow if there are any hours going at all and fingers crossed they will have a few, even if they are 'odd' hours.

    So total debt is now £368.96 :o:( I still don't regret Feb, its just a bit of a pain as I would have been debt free now :cool: Ah well a few months of no spends and a tight rein on holiday should see it reduce a little. The argos £90 has to be payed before 1st July so I will start with that maybe and then move onto the CC. I shall aim to be debt free by 31st Oct :j
