I am buying a friend a coffee today, she called me yesterday to ask me whether she could get cashback from a shop with a credit card. I asked why and she burst into tears and told me a little about her debt situation, she's 31 with about 50K worth of debt. I knew she had debts but she has a good job and so thought it was under control. We are meeting today with her paperwork (her OH has no idea that she owes so much) and going to try to work out a plan. I have already sent her the link here so hopefully you will be hearing from her soon.....Saving for an early retirement!0

Well, its almost half four and I've managed to spend a big fat zero so far today ..... yesterday was the same, and infact so was monday :T :A
But I guess I've cheated because I gave my OH a parcel to post this morning (saved me going out to post office in this heat), and we've floor fitters in today and tomorrow which he (OH) is paying for, well he is the debt free (except for mortgage) one, and it did need doing.
tomorrow won't be so good cos the cats need litter and food
and friday, well friday I've a 5 hour round trip to drive, and I'm sorry, but I'm not going to economise and keep the air con off, not in this heat - I'm bound to need sustinance for that0
