    Hiya,

    Well had quite a good day today, I was expecting my student finance to come at the end of the week however it has come today! Also I totally miscalculated how much I would get as I forgot that I was getting a grant (no repayable - yay!) and this was £900! SO... I have ordered the build a safari road that I mentioned previously from the grabbit board! I have ordered 2 (£7 down from £30) and will save these for godson and nephews birthdays AND also I am taking the opportunity to PAY £66.24 off my catalogue which would then take the balance to - da da daaaaaaaa ZERO!!!

    So... the new plan of action now is to make payments a day off the credit card! xxxx

    Thats absolutely brilliant newsabout the grant, and the grabbit items, and the catalogue.
    Soundsdaft but one thing out of the way - really makes a difference - all I can say is watch out credit card xx

    thanks for the replies :) I checked online banking today and the account has been credited £25. Spoke to OH and he said he had put petrol in a works car last week and it was his reimbursment SO guess where this is going?? Straight to the credit card!!

    Hiya everyone!

    Not much to add at the mo, seem to have loads of things going on all at once and its proving quite difficult to prioritise - eeeekkk!!

    Were getting wed at the weekend, also trying to de clutter for in time for baby muffin, got lots of uni work to do, also trying to organised the finances and succesful debt bust - argh!!

    Well my friend owes me £60 cos I paid the deposit on a winter break for december 11, so she is bringing this round today and to be honest I really dont know what to do with it! I could put it in the wedding fund as I have a couple of things to pay on the day - or I could put it aside for baby as we are starting to buy the bigger items - or i can pay it off the debts - mmmmm decisions decisions!!

    Congratuations on the wedding, if you get the money back from friend, then I would keep it for items for the wedding, - as it wouldn't really be coming from a debt repayment, as technically its a bonus getting the money back. xx
