Well I'm still fairly miserable but....

had a letter from Cap 1 to say my cheque is on the way within 14 days apparently :rolleyes: but still yay

Not sure what I'm doing with it yet, in a bit of a "transitional period" right now. Should know after christmas tho

PeachPickle

Wooohoooo!

Payday tomorrow, and I've just paid off a debt! Yeehah! I've beaten my target before December's payments are made, so by the 31st I'll have smashed it :):)

Also.... my cheque from Cap1 arrived, and I banked that big boy today. Next up, Nationwide. Come on!

Well done PP, great end to the year :j

PeachPickle

Well this is it, end of the year. On balance, glad to see it go!

Moneywise, I've had an ok year. Two weekends away - ok so one was in England, but it was with a fab DFW'er Had two payrises, claimed back £469 bank charges and paid off almost £4.5k of debt. MSE definitely transformed my year - I would probably only have paid off half of that as I was coasting along not really caring too much.

Met some pretty great, and some pretty strange! people on here too, so yay MSE. Set myself a target in June to get down to £17750 owing by Dec 31st - today. I'm proud to say that I smashed that target by £511.24 :):)

My new target is to be at £15000 by Jun 30th 2007. It'll take some doing if I move out before then as I plan to, but I'm going to give it a damn good go. Plus once I'm under £15k I can snigger at those dumb radio adverts saying there's a magic cure for debt if you owe more than £15k

I've bought myself a shiny new notebook for 2007 to list spending (yeah, that'll last about a week) and monthly totals. Determined to get going this year. I'll be turning 27 and I don't want to be in debt and miserable forever!

Aims:

Move out
Hit target
Set another target!
Get over the ex (:()
Pass my exams
Get a payrise for passing my course
Start making tshirts with C - Then we'll screw 'em all, etc
Get a bit fitter and healthier
Claim back some more charges - watch out Nationwide
Go out next NYE...

Happy New Year everyone

Well, two weeks in!

Just done a mystery shop for a sandwich place, and it was lovely

I really REALLY wanted to buy the boxset of Prison Break but it was £45. Technically it would have been within budget as I've not spent much money this month, so I resisted. Instead, I bought 2 cds for £11. Wooh, bargainous. If you're interested I got Jeff Buckley - Grace for £4 and a double album box thingy of Kings Of Leon - Youth & Young Manhood/Aha Shake Heartbreak for £7. Very happy with those

I got my statements back from Nationwide last week and sent off my first letter for £900ish charges. I know they usually wait til the court stage to pay up, which suits me as interest will take it up to £1200 :j :j Looking forward to getting my sweaty paws on that!

Flat/room hunting is kind of static at the minute. Really frustrating, I want to MOVE!!!

Nothing else to report
