Immoral_angel's Debt Diary

immoral_angeluk

oh and uh morning everyone! lol. Have woken up with a sore throat this morning.... joy.
Woohoo tax credits day tomorrow! lol. Last week I did a meal plan instead of just going by whats in the cupboard and it's been easier knowing what I'm doing.. Going to do the sam for this week coming too... Tonight is lasagne night though..

We have £65.77 in paypal... wooo! Will have to use some of the savings to post some ebay stuff today and we're still waiting for 2 people to pay... one of whom is no longer registered on ebay apparently and the other only has 1 feedback so I'm not holding out for any miracles... ah well. C'est la vie and all that. We still made a nice bit of money which can go towards paying Ste's citi.
So let me work it out....
£65.57 in paypal...
£11.18 in savings (We actually have £21 but bare in mind will have to use some to send the last bits but shouldn't cost that much)
£120.80 child benefit next tues
= £197.55 PLUS whatever extra from the tax credits tomorrow, should be about £12ish.. PLUS ste wants me to only give him £20 instead of £30 for the week so that's an extra £10 so I can say for definate that we WILL be able to pay off Ste's citi and we should be able to do it next week! :T

WOOOOO! I know it's not much but it's still another debt GONE and considering that not very long ago it was £1300 I'm ecstatic!

Wooohooooo good news re the Citi, lets hope you get it cleared xxx

Woo hoo! All ebay stuff done and sent... Ebay fees paid too so it's all sorted. The paypal money should clear this time next week, same time as the childbenefit so we can say bye bye to citi... Can't wait!

Still haven't managed to shift our sofa! noone wants it!

Well done with Citi!!! That'll be so good to see a big line thru it!

ia do you want anything for it? if not put it in your local paper (if they do adds at the back) saying free to collector ~ someone is bound to snap it up

immoral_angeluk

immoral_angeluk

well done on the Citi for next week, it is only a "small thing" because you have both worked damn hard making it smaller and smaller. So think back and it was a huge thing - so well done. And well done Ste for tightening the belt even further, just when you think you can't make any extra savings you manage yet again. What a pair you two are!! How is the new job going this week? Just think only ten days to payday too.

Funnily enough Ste said that earlier! 10 days!!! eek! lol! His job is going really well and he is really enjoying it... he likes the change of pace and how chilled it is compared to standing on your feet serving customer after customer for hours on end!
