Hello everyone, after reading this thread i feel a little inspired (actually quite a lot) and would like to join

I'm not sure that i can do the £10k but will give it my best shot.

I am a stay at home mum to 1yr and (almost) 3yr old girls whilst my husband is self employed.
I plan to do this by getting a job in April when 3yr old goes to nursery (can't afford 2 lots of nursery fees at the moment and no one wants to look after 2 toddlers)
Do the 2010 £100 clothes challenge
and most importantly stop spending money on rubbish

Good luck everyone

Hi all.
Just found this thread and I love it! :happyhear
Please let me join!!!

I don't have a 10k worth of debt as such but in 2010 I should (fingers crossed) be getting a morgage and planning my wedding.

I have just set up a dirrect debit of £500 a month into my mothers account (so i can have it if I REALLY need it but will have to ask her) and aim to make the other £333.33 (which will go towards my debts) by ebaying my soul, using cash back sites and keep up non smoking.

Good luck and hope you all have a fab crimbo :rudolf:

Hi all, its great to see so many new faces :rolleyes:.

I've asked for Martin's 'Thrifty' book for Christmas so its good to hear so many great reviews!

Peetzil can I have the receipe for the Mars bar cake please??? Not for financial reasons but because I love cake and Marsbars (well who deosn't really?)

As for me I have no new money making ideas but will be selling and cutting back more. I almost fell off my chair when I read your reply shady because I wasn't reading properly and when I saw 'ebay' and then 'wife' I thought you were going to ebay your wife! :rotfl:That'll tgeach me to pay attention!

Hi everyone,
Woke up to over another heavy fall of snow here, at least I am off today. Here is the recipe for mars bar cake for all who requested it! Might have to make some myself today, as keeping warm uses up extra calories!!!

-6 regular size mars bars
-approx 3-4 oz of butter
-approx 1/3 regular size box of rice crispies
-bar of cooking chocolate for covering

Melt the mars bars and butter in pot slowly be careful not to burn mix!
Add rice crispies and mix until fully coated
Turn out into shallow tray and flatten (rolling a glass over works well as tends not to stick)
Leave to cool
Melt chocolate and spread over top - leave to set, cut into squares/slices

ENJOY!!!

I buy the mars bars when they are on a '5 for £1' deal - much cheaper. Also real chocolate is lovely for the topping, but much dearer.
Let me know how you all get on!

Hello, hello!! My first post! Have just (finally!!) registered on MMSE, after years of reading the threads, so that I can hopefully join you guys in this 10k in 2010 challenge! This is just what I need - hopefully with everyone's support I can finally get rid of my 11k debt (student loans not included!). Laura xx
