Little bit more in the pot today!
Car has MOT tomorrow, OH looked over it and reckons it will pass, fingers crossed!!


Payday on friday - landmark day, will pay off ALL of bank of mum and dad debt, and start making a dent in the next account and credit card!

Made a payment on my next account today! Not much but more than the minimum and it's motivating me!

Get paid tomorrow and then a chunk of £400 will be paid off too!

Hope my car passes it's MOT!

Urgh car failed MOT, for a few silly things that are easily fixed, just need to go pick up to see the full report. REALLY didn't need this, added expense. Will probably have to go with out food next month to fix this!!!

Might see what i can list on ebay this weekend.

Hi Bramble, just having a catch up. Well done on the overpayment to Next but sorry to hear the car failed - will it cost much to fix it.

Defo try Ebaying to get some pennies in for food - cant have you going without!

Hope you are ok xxx

Thank you! Paid off the £400 i owed to my parents today which i am very glad about - I hate owing family money!

There's nothing tooo major to fix with car apparently - my OH is an engineer so he can fix it luckily, so just parts i need to pay for!

Would it be best to put off listing untill after Christmas do you think?

Well paid £50 off my credit card today, mimum payment was £38 so went over it abit. Concerned that i have £100 to last me six weeks though. Here's to hoping OH gets paid soon!

Just popped in to say hi :hello: and to wish you good luck!
Hope your car repairs go OK; my wife's car failed its MOT too a while ago (brakes). I know what you mean about getting paid early at Christmas! I've made sure that all my CC payments are made now that I've been paid, well in advance of their due date, while I know the money is there to cover them, and that direct debits are covered too.

Unfortunately my wife's car now needs the handbrake repairing :mad:

Not got the car fixed yet!! Trying to source the parts so close to christmas is proving difficult.. luckily oh can do the mechanics so we won't have to fork out for labour!

I've got a phone bill, water bill and pet insurance to worry about, but we should be alright, will get them paid asap!!

thanks
