    When I get back to his, I'm going to sell MrS's old broadband routers and printer :) someone will want it!

    ETA: Just called Halifax to lodge a PPI complaint and the girl I spoke to to get loan details ended up giving me all my credit card details and said just give them those numbers anyway, it'll give them a bit of work to do! Fingers crossed it comes up with something :)

    Hiya

    Can I join please? I have student debt of £6800, CC of £560 and a HP of £678, put me around the £10k mark? I'm sure there will be one I've bloomin forgotten! My OH is really supportive of us trying to pay off all my debts (his parents paid for his uni!) so hopefully able to make some serious dollar to pay this off before we plan our family :)

    A small announcement from me to you all.

    As of every Sunday I will be posting who has paid of what in the week leading up to that Sunday. Hope that makes sense as it sort of does to me in my funny little brain.

    Thanks Loubie!! Thats a really great idea and really nice of you :)


    Kerri that challenge is THE greatest idea, i understand how it works and I will be doing it. Yaaaaaaay!

    Antonia1 I did exactly the same, don't worry you know now and you are paying it off already so it doesn't matter. I don't really think I had my lightbulb moment until I joined this thread :)

    Domravioli welcome!! I'm glad you are joining us.

    I will be back later. Ohh i'm naughty I have spent a bit of money today :( I posted some things, bought stamps, bought some stocking fillers and my Grandad's Xmas present. Oh and some Vanilla Chai latte fpr me from Whittards! I've been waiting for them to get it in since August lol!! I love it. Tell me off please cuz I am naughty! :rotfl:
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

  • New total! Made about £300 from matched betting (see separate MSE forum), and put it all on to my CC. In addition, took the penny jar to the machine in Sainsburys and came back with a £20 shop and an extra £7 in my wallet! I count that as a free shop, and it means I still have £45 of my reward vouchers left. Can I make it to next payday (21st) without spending any bank account money on food?! :cool:
  • Hahahahaha mf0u :naughty: ur so bad sneaking on here, I think my time challenge is going to have to be 'only spend an hour on the forum everyday' because my OH is already starting to winge about the amount of time I talk to you guys on here. :shhh: I can't help it, I love this thread. i'm leaving it on whilst I go and continue searching through my Credit card statements for unfair charges and missold PPI so that I can hopefully get it back and take another chunk of my debts :j
