    3k would be great to pay of the rest of your cc amounts! Is your loan a flexible one you can overpay? I am really looking forward to clearing everything else and then at the end of each month going into the bank with what ever money we have left to throw at the loan amount!

    Wow 3k would be fab, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

    You've been doing fab and £35 for two pairs of shoes isn't too bad I think ;) x

    Hi,

    Not been around for a few days. Internet connection has been woeful (virgin), thinking of changing. They say it's a local fault and should be sorted out within a few days. I guess we should give them a chance to sort it out?

    Been at work 7 out of 8 days so absolutely knackered. Stayed up to watch the election till early hours & only just feel like I've recovered ~ had long lie in today!!

    Been in town today with Ds#2 ~ spent too much! Need to spend more time on here to keep up motivation. Bought him pair shoes for prom, sweatshirt & t shirt too in closing down sale at levi's. Felt really sorry for the shop assistants because they're going to be out of a job in a few weeks:(.

    On a positive note, I have sorted out capped deal on electricity & gas:).

    Going to try & visit here daily to get from inspiration. I need a big kick up bum please.

    Hi choc addict,

    OUCH! that hurt! sometimes we do need a little treat! trouble is I can justify buying myself anything and I feel old habits creeping in:eek:.

    Thanks for that. Plans for this week; night shifts tues, wed, sat & sun. Then off till the following thursday. Nights are good because i never spend money and I earn more!!
    And I'm out with the girls in town on friday!! something to look forward to.

    I have listed 2 Radley bags & one Kipling on ebay this morning. Hopefully this can earn me a few quid. Already received 4 messages about one, think it might go for buy it now £40!!

    Was supposed to be doing lunch today with a friend but plans have changed and now she's making me lunch which is even better cos it's FREE!!!

    Really hoping this PPI thingy comes through soon. Some people seem to get a response really quickly whilst others take ages.

    Better get ready for lunch, have a great day everyone :).
