Today I banked £30 of christmas/birthday money, a bag of £2 coins and a bag of 50p coins = £60.00.
This is such a friendly, supportive thread :-)Boots Card - £17.53, Nectar Points - £15.06 - *Saving for Chrimbo*2015 Savings Fund - £2575.000 -
I have started to think that 10k is a lot and if i am going to do it I need to start now!
This afternoon I am going to....
1,Count all my coppers and bag them up.
2,Wash and iron the clothes I want to sell on ebay.
3, Collect all winning scratch cards/lottery tickets I haven't checked and take them to asda.
4, work out a monthly food plan on what I have already in the house.
If I have any energy left after this I am going to make a start on my home made birthday cards for the year!!Make £10 a day, October 2023 - £105/£3100 -
first payment of 2010 made,
448/10,000
Lots of luck

Hey all
Not been on here since the first few pages. Have managed to catch up and see you are all doing so well!! Keep up with it and well done. I'm really going to struggle with the challenge now, not been on here because my boyf and I have split. And we only bought the house a year ago. Have a fixed rate mortgage for another 2 years so have massive redemption costs, solicitors fees, agency fees to sell house etc etc. Reckon I'm going to lose about £20k in total. Boooo! So disappointed that my debt is only to get worse this year than it was last year. And gotta sort all house stuff out. Argh man! Woe is me!!

hi all!
So its the first and we're off!!!!!
I have made a decision, I'm not going to by another flash car with the money from mine - its on auto trader for 5750. I've got a budget of between 2k and 3k for a new one I'll try and spend 2500 and theoretically if I sell mine for say 5500 the I'll have £3k! Woo that's a whole loan gone!! :money:martin would be so proud of us!

I join Martin in being proud of you! Well done on your MS plan... it will all be worth it in the long run!
