  • everyone is doing really well, just realised I only have about 4 days off work between now and christmas eve!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: hopefully I can keep up with the challenge!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
  • I just thought it might be a good idea to put down what's in my :heart: , and say lots of love to Emily and FrugalFox.

    I just thought if they are ill someone might be watching this thread for them, and able to send them a message.

  • what happened with ladbrokes?

    just found out hard rock cafe pins are big things on american ebay... might be able to make my target just through them :)

    (i was given the pins as payment for overtime at an old job a while back... they were his "doubles")

    jpwhittle, I am in similar boat. I have a finals exam comming and trying to put more time in revision and all that...

    I doubt I will complete the challenge with flying colours, but I will definetely carry on. Any extra penny counts towards melting my debts!

    Chin up!

    ladbrokes have lost £95 in a transfer. they say the bank have accepted the payment but it isnt turning up in our account. i dont have enough to match the £50 free bet untill we get it either.

    scrooge, i intend on carrying on untill january at least and then dont know wether to start again or to just keep going. will see what others do and what happens.

    just hope this sorts soon then we can get started properly again.

    some good news though our car isnt as broke as we thought its ot the hedgasket but the fan blades fell of so my dad fixed it today.

    Just sold yet another freebie book on amazon

    it was an art book by winston churchill

    BTW the books I sell are a large range of fiction/non-fiction/childrens/gardening etc etc Its hard to tell you what will sell you just have to go with your instinct.
