    Thanks for all you kind words. I've had the worst week ever and although I have just wanted to hide away I've been ridiculously busy trying to organise things. I've booked my dads funeral now but still need to clear out his flat. The lovely lady at the funeral directors took pity on me having to arrange a wedding and funeral all at the same time so she gave me £155 off (cars for free). I'm not adding it, just thought it was a lovely gesture.

    I do have a few bits to add though as I have to keep plodding on with all these costs coming in:

    £2.49 & 11p Amazon
    £2 GFK
    £1 bet with other half on a football question
    £11.69 from TAB b!ngo playing scratch winnings
    £5.00 virgin scratch
    Booked a massage to help me relax and found out they were doing a special deal so got £15 off
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    £3 tesco vouchers and finally £15 giftcard to debenhams from toluna. Which takes me over my target without even adding magpie cheque which I still haven't received. I'm so pleased I made the target!
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!
  • If it wasn't for o/t I'm not sure how I'd acheive £10 a day! £220 in o/t this month. The rest I've sold some old CDs/PS2 games, a table and done some surveys/clicks.

    Am worn out and busy all weekend so I prob wont make the target but I'm still pleased and good effort to those who have!
