    paaaaaaaaay daaaaay!

    Have paid £1000 off, slightly more than I should...but I had about £40 extra from a late nighter so I decided to go for it! Will go under £40k this month, am spot on at the mo :j:j:j

    Will update the credit card later as we should be able to take a really good chunk off of it tonight :) well actually more next week as that is when my husband gets paid but I have shifted my money out off my account so I am not tempted to spend!

    :o very cautiously and hoping not to tempt fate that I have an interview on the 5th december for a job I really want....scared but just fingers crossed. I have put off another job until going for the interview which is kind of silly but as I am in a small field I do not want to risk messing people about, wish me luck:money:

    That's it for now folks

    threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    £39580, should end this month on £39500, so happy it seems very exciting, some people spend this on a car!!

    Round up, £409 off balance, £48.27 interest for the month, £1.61 a day :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    So 1 more pay-packet left for me for sure-ish (i guess nothings 100%), next month our sainsburys card will be gone so our next card doesn't need to be paid until oct 2012 (make sure I have a job by then!!) Sooooo once I know 100% where we are with the card then I will work out our final mortgage figure for the year, exciting- lets hope in the meantime I get the other job........:p
