SS's 2007 Debt Free Challenge

For the first time iges I really feel like I'm juggling my money! :undecided
I can't really blame it being Christmas, although obviously it doesn't help, but I think I've just stretched myself to be under £12,000 before the end of the year.
I've currently got £105.72 left after all bills etc but this needs to last me 2 weeks. I keep forgetting that there is a whole week between Christmas and New Year. Sadly I don't get any time off work so will definately need petrol as I've only got half a tank. So thats £50. Leaving me with not much!
Lets hope I don't end up going out for New Year! :rotfl:
So although it's great to be under another milestone, it's not so great worrying if I'll have enough money to see me through until payday. I've got eh O/D if I really need it. But I don't want to use it. And I shouldn't need to use it. The thought of using it actually makes me angry with myself! :rolleyes:0 -
Tis the season for overstretched finances SS
We've only got £13 to last till Friday :eek:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Credit cards are definitely a thing of the past. What we aint got and cant afford, we manage without.
We stocked up on Christmas booze last week, which is why we're skint now :rotfl:
The worry is DS's £200 school holiday, which needs to be paid when we go back to school. Hubby gets paid next Friday, so I think we'll just get the money out, then we'll have to manage once that's gone

He's only 9 so too young to send down the pits unfortunately :rolleyes:
They're going on a PGL adventure holiday abseiling, raft building and the like.
it would be too hard to tell him he cant go, so we'll just pay it, then get by for the rest of the month
We can live on porridge, toast and pancakes for a few weeks :rotfl:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

It is a lot of money, but they get a heck of a lot dearer in high school. DD came home recently going on about a skiing trip, only 4 or 5 days for £700 :eek:
Enjoy your dinner and beer :beer:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
