I'm back and we have had a fantastic time, but where has the sun gone was 37 degrees when we left Corfu today then got back to a car with a flat battery. After an hour standing in the RAIN spoke nicely to a taxi driver who kindly jump started it for £20 they charge this as they lose their place in the queue. There were only 4 taxi's and he was 2nd from last :mad:. I had already planned on giving him £20 as it was cheaper than joining AA, I think it just made me mad that nobody can do a good turn these days.
My first thing going forward is to do one good turn every day even if its just let a car out or say good morning to somebody
I need to have a look at the debt busting but the bank looks ok so far, I have updated my signature with payments made so far but I think I have some extra amazon and quidco cash to move.
Off to bed now as im on foreign time spreadsheets can wait until tomorrow.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

I have re visited my signature and debt has now dropped to under £40k not by as much as I wanted but that is due to changing jobs and a holiday but never mind it's come down by over a £1000.
I had £30 M & S vouchers arrive while I was away from surveys so thats coming along nicely for xmas presents. Amazon also cleared £37 ish so that has come off Lloyds.
I feel I need a plan to clear this Lloyds card so that will be my job today along with piles of washing, food shop and of course the dreaded ebay but needs must. This holiday is the first time I have not worried what bills I will be coming home to and Im enjoying that feeling I know I have the debt but feel it is more under control now as I have paid of £10213.60 since 1st January 2010. Wow I didnt realise it was so much
strange but I have quite enjoyed seeing the accounts cleared and playing spreadsheets.
New job starting on Monday and yet again I have no idea when payday will be and you fellow debt busters know its not a good position to be in however I have saved one months pay so if all else fails I could dip into it temporarily.
Now Im off to get planning how to bust Lloyds £6100 I'm tempted to try applying for a 0% card as things should be looking a lot better, not applied for a new one since January :cool:.
Bronze Cracker is a challenge on the DFW board to make an extra £510 for xmas there are different levels and as I have my xmas pot I'm just putting mine to debt, but you know how I love a challenge
