Hey saving.
The cakes were lovely if I say so myself. Still have ingredients to make another brownie cake which I fancy doing this week.
I'm under £2000 on Zero card! Only been paying minimum payment on it so it's not exactly an achievement but feels nice none-the-less.
Pay day is fast approaching, next Monday, and before 7/12 I've paid my s. loan off - how exciting is that?!?! Kind of want it to be then already though you shouldn't wish your life away.
Went to see Hangover in cinema for free during weekend and tonight we're going to free cinema again. Cheap entertainment, gets us 'out' and keeps bf occupied as no further news on foot. He's finally going to be able to make an appointment to see an orthopodist (sp?) but you there phone line is only oper 6hrs (!!!) a week!DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -

Which survery site was that Tir? I really need to get back into them now my maternity leave is officially over. Back into AQA too!
How are you? How exciting about the student loanMyself and OH are getting really excited because if he gets this new job and I get a job I reckon we could have the debt paid off by next Xmas. Would love that!

Ooh, that does sound good! Keeping fingers crossed for both of you.
It was opopinium, not quite sure how long it took me to get there, but I don't care, the £25 is in my bank now. Another site I would recommend is crowdology. They pay into your paypal account after you have £4 but paypal will take 2%. Not claimed off them yet but am up to 6quid or so...DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
Pay day today! Overtime got paid as well, woohoo! The most exciting bit is, that it's the last pay cheque that money is going off to pay s.loan!!! Money has now been transferred to my other a/c that I use to transfer to Finland. When it's there, 3 days max, I can make the transfer, then max 10 days and s.loan is history!!!! I can't believe I've finally gotten this far. I think I'll get below 5k February time. I'll have to think of a nice little treat when s.loan is finally gone! Maybe the shoes I need to buy for bf's work xmas do so I can wear my new dress (bought last year on sale) finally!
