    Matched Betting is slowly improving, all seems so slow in these early stages though! (I'm so impatient, I want to start paying things off :rotfl:)

    Middle of the month is so boring, anyone else find that? All payments have been made, not much wages left, no in's and no out's - just dull

    I have £25 showing as received from Quidco already this month too :j

    I've just been playing around with figures and I've realised that I can very possibly be Debt Free by JULY THIS YEAR :j :j

    Amount owing is £2679.19, I have £1839.51 to go on the Olympic Challenge leaving £839.68

    I have approx £400 coming to me in July (maturing regular saver, previously owed money and £70 that my father owes me)

    Leaving £439.68 and my regular monthly payments are £120 so that's 3 and a half months of those (March, April, May, half of June)

    The end is most definitely in sight :D

    Always the way :rolleyes: Maybe you should go sick next weekend!

    We've had a management reshuffle - guess what that means, no supervisor on my floor so I get to do all the extra work (which I don't mind) but without the extra pay which really peeves me.
    The ones who were kept on from Christmas only get 12p an hour less than I do. How is that fair? :(
    Had a day off today so hopefully they struggled and realised how much I'm needed (well a girl can dream :rotfl: )

    Need a quick bit of advice.... here's my debts at present

    HSBC Card (Mum)...........0% (till 06/07).......[STRIKE]£869.62[/STRIKE] £814.62
    HSBC Card (Dad)............0%.....................[STRIKE]£1,145.00[/STRIKE] £895.00
    IF Card.....................4.95%...................[STRIKE]£561.28[/STRIKE] £388.47
    Egg Card.......................0% (till 07/07)...[STRIKE]£632.10[/STRIKE] £581.10
    TOTAL: [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE] £2679.19 (10.8% paid off)
    DFD: [STRIKE]11/11/08[/STRIKE] 04/02/09


    The snowball keeps telling me to put any extra to HSBC (Mum) - is this because the 0% runs out first? Would I be better off clearing Egg just as fast?

    The £400 I get in July will be used for HSBC (Dad) - hopefully the last bit.
