*See how I can get my debts down*
Welcome to the madness
You can get your debts down by just plodding away. For some, it's easy to focus only on debt-busting and to throw every penny at their debts. I can't/don't do that. Having been very focussed on debt-busting when I first had my LBM, eventually I burnt myself out. Now I throw money into a savings account which I will eventually use to repay my loan early, but I have to have a life too. For some people that's fancy clothes/shoes or nights out. For me it tends to be crafting supplies
It's little things that make you happy and keep you sane.

Heyyyy, lovely to see you back on here:j
I did miss you on here - I can't venture on the MFW board....I rent:o:o:o
I've done the same as you and gone from being debt free to splashing out money on a car;) I bought a beautiful blue Peugeot 207 in August...£3k loan and £3k paid up...now wish I'd not put quite so much down up front as I've run my savings down...but less debt I guess:p
I've been ebaying like a crazy woman recently - I do get slightly obsessive with checking watchers and bids...and watching the auctions end is exciting - do I need to get out more??!:rotfl: More listings went on for me last night and 3 tonight. I have one teenage daughter and one very nearly teenage daighter so clothing them and buying Xmas stuff doesn't come cheap.
Anyway, enough waffling - I promise to keep up with your popular diary:DI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Morning :wave:
Two days till payday and the credit card only has £14.67 outstanding on it! I have £26.89 set aside to cover the bill so woo to that! I'll keep PADding into my credit card account though as I have a new laptop to buy and pets to pay for as their dental treatment is due next week.
The first day back at work was a shocker. It's not much fun there at the moment, so I need to sort myself out with a new and improved CV and internal application form soon and start applying for new and exciting things. I spent most of last night curled up on the couch watching telly, but tonight I'm hopefully meeting a friend to go to the movies which will be nice.
No surveys came through for me to do last night, but my £20 Amazon vouchers arrived in my email this morning from Nectar so they've been duly added to my account. Just waiting for another £15 now from two other companies. It's amazing how they trickle in when you're using more than one survey company - it really motivates me to keep going
