Oh no, we're not going to have the 'Mr Ben was a druggie' conversation again, are we? :rotfl:
Nice to see you updating your diary again Mrs S, and congratulations on the house sale. You will soon have the debt below £10k. :T"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -

Hey Mrs S.
Glad you didn't leave it as long as last time! :rolleyes:0 -
Just check out my new signature!!! I've cracked that £10K barrier at last. The only debt I have now is my MBNA card which I will work soooo hard to clear as early as possible in 2008.
Hope everyone had fabby DFW Christmasses. We have a fridge stuffed full of leftover cheeses and cold meats so I'm hoping to cut down on the grocery bill for the rest of the month.
Note to self: stay AWAY from the sales- you do not need anything.Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24

Well done Mrs S! Thats brill! :T
Can you lend me a tenner?
How long do you reckon it will take you to clear?0 -
I'm just trying to work that out now SS. I reckon I can only put about £300 a month into it with my current expenditure. BUT I'm getting a pay review in January plus I should get a bonus in Jan too so may be able to pay another grand off in 5 weeks time. The rest though will probably take me the majority of the year unless I can severely trim down my outgoings.
If I do another SOA would you mind having a look at it for me hun?Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24

If I have to! :rolleyes:
Why haven't you mentioned matched betting to beat it? :think:
I've got a list of 14 bookies in front of me to do when I get paid. If I can make £50 from each thats £700!0 -
That's a very good point- ok, I'll top up my betfair account from my bonus and see how much I can make from that. I can't believe there are 14 that you haven't done yet???Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24

There are a hell of a lot more than that! :j
When you can be bothered, give me a list of who you have done and I'll tell you who else to do.0
