  • Well I have to say that this weekend was not a very MSE one :o

    I spent an absolute fortune...on the other hand my Christmas shopping is completely finished!

    Dreading the amount of wrapping that I have to do now...:p

    Got £12 worth of £2 coins over the weekend so they have gone in to the tin, think there is just short of £250 in there now :)

    Will need to watch the pennies now until the end of the month but shouldn't have too many other payments to make...looking forward to Christmas now! :D

    I had cunning plans for xmas shopping this weekend, but failed miserably... I simply must sit down now to do it online at the first chance I get - these pressies aint gonna buy themselves!
  • That's for sure EB, plus if you're ordering online then the sooner the better, what with the backlog of post...

    Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j
  • I've changed my DFD by a day, it's now 16 days as I will need to clear my loan on 1st January, still quite happy with that and will be a fab start to the year! :D

    I need to wait until December is finished to enter my last monthly wage deduction on to my loan payments so that my final payment is correct and I don't overpay!

    oh well done you!
  • Well I am feeling really festive now! Got all my presents bought and wrapped and off to see Cinderella for the panto tonight! :D

    Only need to get a few things in for Christmas, such as wine and dog food (what a combination! :p) and then we'll be all set!

    Hope to update tomorrow with my last payment before the final payment that gets the account closed! Really excited now! :D
