    Hiya Applecider, I'm fine thanks, you too from the sound of things.:) Not exactly sure what you're saying, but do you want me to put a target on for £1.000 for you?

    It'll be sooo good to have got rid of one!!! :T Course you'll know what to do with yourself when you're debt-free - you'll be saving left, right and centre and affording yourself luxuries, holidays etc as a result. look ahead to a new beginning AC!!!! :j

    Hi Kerry, good to see you. :)

    1p's not bad mummytummy and at least you're that much up on me today, but who knows what tomorrow'll bring - for us all.

    Have a great day whatever you do. A step closer to the weekend just can't be bad. :D

    Sue x Don't forget, if anyone still wants to join, you're welcome. :)

I managed to sell a dress, skirt, fancy dress outfit and my old sky plus box for £60 so taking that out of paypal and it can go in the jar :)) its amazing the things that sell on there.

    Whats everyone else going to do with their money?!? all u lucky ones who are not in debt especially must be great whe opening it knowng you do can something really cool with it!!

    On a non saving subject - my puppy is so funny at the moment shes taking a liking to chasing a golf ball which is much faster than her around my laminate floor, skidding everywhere.... fun times!
