    I am only £160 in debt (on the credit card) and have £2k in savings as of Monday :)

    Not really sure what I am saving for, was aiming for a house deposit but might be moving in with the fella in next few months and he has his own house although would still like to move as he lives in middle of nowhere!!! Problem is its handy for him as near his kids and the M1 for work so persuading him might be more difficult.

    My health is pants recently so might have to use them if i swop jobs which I might be doing, if only I could just work part time!

    Keep catching one thing after another, need to get my health back on track. Heads been pounding since Weds now as I have a sinus infection, been off sick so lost money too :(

    To keep the savings, have a holiday and maybe find another new job!

    Hey!! :hello:

    Dont know if you remember me, but Im back... yes, still in debt, but at least its gone down from the £11K before!! :eek:

    Im back on the MSE bandwagon, hoping to be debt free by December 2011. I am also hoping to buy my flat in April (at least get the ball rolling then!).

    I have a new job, and a newish OH, and I am very happy for the first time in a long time, which is helping with the debt busting. :p

    Anyway... helloooooooooooooo!

    And also, I cant remember about scratchcards etc. can anyone remind me of sites etc. as I used to enjoy doing this.

    Cheers Ladies, and its good to be back. :beer:
