  • Well done on the new job Mrs pregnant lady! ;):D :T

    Hows the MB going? :)

    Thanks SS!

    MB is going a bit rubbish at the moment. I've got £25 to get from bgbet.com and I spent half an hour looking for odds earlier and it was all rubbish. Plus there's not much money in BF even if you do find decent odds. It's the first chance I've had to do something too as I finally finished working those stupid hours. Oh and I still haven't done anything about SB :o

    How are you doing, did you buy your fishing stuff again?
    Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
    currently: £13,353.25

    Still waiting on the insurance hun! :rolleyes:

    Well get on with it! I came out with £286 profit! :j Easiest money you will ever make (thanks mate if you are watching :beer: ) :D
  • Yeah I'm being lazy aren't I. And I've got the cash in BF (got more in BF than I have in my bank account these days :rolleyes: ) OK, OK I'll get onto it.

    Hope your insurance hurries up. My OH just sold a Hardy's reel on eBay today-couldn't believe how much these things go for!

    Well if you've got £500 spare PM you know who. I'd give him 100% positive feedback. :)
  • Thanks hun, I appreciate you telling me about it.

    OK, at the start of 2007 my debt currently stands at £22,955.13. Yikes. My mission for 2007 is to clear 50% of this- i.e. to pay off £11,477.57 or £956.46 a month. Blimey, really hope I get a bonus at the end of January.

    I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow to find out what my new position will involve and- more importantly- if they're going to pay me any extra.

    So, missions for January:

    -keep up with Quidco + Pigsback clicks (Pigsback to get John Lewis vouchers to use for birthday presents/baby essentials/treats)
    -more eBaying... I've been very lazy with this recently and have a ton of stuff I can sell
    -creep to my boss until I get a bonus :rotfl:
    -spend less than £100 on food for the 2 of us and the moggies

    Think that's about it for now. Happy New Year to anyone I haven't already spoken to this weekend and I wish everyone well with their New Year challenges :D

    Ooh, another challenge, I like it! You've got the challenge of Sparklo (aka Thomas ;)) to look forward to as well though... £956.46 a month will be a fab achievement!!

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow - that the job is just what you want and with some extra money too :T
