  • It's payday! I demand an update! ;)
    I was a DFW, now I'm a MFW :T
  • Sorry I've been at work from 8.30 this morning until 19.00 tonight! I've literally been in about 45 mins because I had 45 min travel then stopped at my other halfs to see him. I'm just doing some quick math and I'll be back :)
    DEBT TOTAL: £7609.44
  • Right so far I've split money into my envelopes. Still some bits to add to my petrol one. I've also put £5 in a coin bag that was loose in my purse. £3 in my purse for lunch tomorrow (and Sunday I hope) at work. From Monday I will take my own lunch. 93p is going into my sealed coin tin. Not sure how much is in there because I've been shoving 20p's and less in there and I have to cut it open when it's full.
    I'm going to wait to pay some bits until my loan is collected tomorrow but it's actually £3 cheaper than I originally thought!

    I've kept any receipts for today and I've started a spending diary!!
    DEBT TOTAL: £7609.44
  • Right I am sticking to a very strict budget this month but I know I can do it! Approz £500 of that debt will definately be cleared tomorrow!

    I used to be the opposite but since we're started putting more effort into reducing the debt I love coming home to post :)

  • So my loan is gone!!!!! Tomorrow the £60 debt to my friend will be gone too!!!
    DEBT TOTAL: £7609.44
  • My signature is updated - the loan is crossed out and has changed colour (to show debts that have gone!) and my total has gone down! Tomorrow it will be done again. Also put another 4p in the pot. I have some DVDs - ones I don't watch and duplicates that I'm going to sell as well so that I can get a bit of extra money. Not bothered about how much just as long as its something to help. Will create some space as well :)
