    Yeah I'm trying to remain positive! But like everyone else I want to clear more and more as the months go on!

    Ticket done for three weeks starting tonight although the 12 became 7 and is a lucky star!

    I know what you mean about wanting to clear more debt, I was browsing the up your income board for ages this morning trying to find a bright idea but nothing suitable came to mind :(

    Ah I've been searching that too! I just wish there was an easier way to suppliment my income, but I do 12 hour days as it is at work, I don't want to burn out :(

    Good luck with the lotto :)

    Adam we won something! I had an email this morning and we won £7.80 :j, that was because I turned the 12 into a 7 (you posted 5 & 12 so I just did 12 - 5 to get 7!) :D

    I'll remove the £2 to buy the ticket so £5.80/2 = £2.90 each, it's a start!! :T

    :D

    :rotfl:Ha ha that's brilliant! You're on your way to both becoming millionaires! :j:D

    Has anyone else done that millionaire calculator? If I saved at the same rate that I am currently paying debts and could get a good savings rate I would be a millionaire by the time I was 71 (and probably fallen over from exhaustion!) :rotfl: :rotfl:

    JTR that's great news :D however, keep the money, seriously, or buy a ticket tonight, a lucky dip or use it for your own debt, really!!

    I did something similar beccie, except I worked out how much I've earnt in my life so far, can't remember what the total is now, but it would have been nice to have that in my account now :):):)

    Cheers Beccie, I don't kow if either of you two do the lottery online (I do because I am a nightmare at losing bits of paper!) but they email you and it says 'we have exciting news about your ticket'.......I try not to get excited but so many times I have wished and hoped so much that there is some amazing figure in my online account :rotfl:. Think the most I have won is £60 on the normal lottery that me and my mum split. I don't do two bad on the euromillions, a few £6 & £7 here and there!

    I've done those numbers for another 2 weeks Adam so there is plenty of time yet, very kind of you to tell me to use it for my own debt, I shall remember this when I make my millions somehow :)

    Whats this millionaire calculator, it sounds interesting, albeit maybe depressing at the same time!!!

    I rarely do the lottery at all - keep thinking I should though but just keep forgetting to buy the tickets! Guess I should though, all this working hard is all very well but maybe I should leave it up to fate too?! :D

    Think I'd worry bout doing it online though, case I won and somehow it got lost online and then I had no ticket to prove it!

    Can't remember where the millionaire calculator was now, basically you typed it what savings rate you had, how much a month you could save and then it told you how long till you would be a millionaire! :)
