    Not fallen but did manage to go around the corner at the end of my drive sideways in reverse earlier :eek: luckily managed to stop it before I damaged my poor car.

    £10 amazon in from toluna this afternoon.

    I've not been out at all today because I've booked some time off work to spend with dad and to do eBay listings as well. Couldn't get to the hospital because of the stupid weather but at least I did some eBay photos (4 hours worth)

    £370 into my account for a old gold i've had in a box for years and never wear!! can't believe it!! BIG Thanks to misswissy for the idea! Sent it yesterday - money in my account today!! yey - straight of my credit cards tomorrow

    :eek::eek: What company did you use please as I have some to send aswell. Not alot so not expecting much from it.

    Thanks :o

    Just read the rest of the posts sorry.. scuba, bless- that's really scary when that happens :( Hope it didnt shake you up too much. Sorry you didn't make it to visit your Dad Jesa, he wouldn't want you driving about in the bad weather though risking your safety. You did the right thing. x

    Sorry to double post, I just wanted to share with you all.. (cos I'm very excited :o )
    this month we make the last payment on an arrangement we had with HSBC to pay off our £2200 over draft with them. We've paid £170 for the last year and on Monday I'll be paying the very last one ever :D I know it might not seem like a lot in view of our huge debt but it's a big achievment for us and me personally :o

    Thanks to everyone on here this thread for all the support I've always gotten in the 2+ years I've done this challenge, and to the newbies- take mini baby steps like I have been and you will see benefits in the end :o

  • hi sweetpeas
    I used Hatton gold - but can't take any of the credit for finding them - I asked miswissy who she had used and just used them - would definately reccomend them they were great and i'm a tiny bit less in debt as a result ! yey!
    Hope that helps

    P.S. BIG CONGRATS on your final HSBC payment!! it is a huge deal you should be excited!!!!
    Baby due 4th May 2013

    Thanks alot for that NMS, I think I've read that name before on here so feel guilty now if I've asked you something which I've read and forgotten :o sorry if that's the case.
    I keep forgetting loads at the minute, need someone to chuck me in a bag and shek me up :D
    Thanks for the info ;)

    MsHalffull, how bad is that.. I hope she hasn't really done it this year :eek: mind you, will make some interesting reading... I suppose it if was a mild winter it would just be no fun to read :rotfl: :p I am really enjoying the £1/day one though, it defo makes you wonder about your own usage/wastage with stuff though :rolleyes: Maybe we should set up a virtual book club on MSE :D
