    Morning all! Another bad day on the time-challenge front, went to bed at 11pm (60 mins early) but only actually got up at 8.45 (75 mins late):eek:. So that puts me at 15mins wrong over all, costing me 45p today. Oh well, at least it was MUCH better than yesterday. I think I will keep the weekly challenge money in a separate pot and make payments every 2 months.

    Also, feeling very proud of my lil bro today, he was doing Movember and raised £107 for charity :T:T:T

    After reading this thread, I'm de-cluttering AGAIN! Lots of things to pop on ebay or the local listing pages on facebook (love them!) and must remember to pay that off my debts. It's no good selling things to then go and 'treat' myself for being good. TUT TUT!
  • Just had to pop on while at work to say I've got three extra shifts at work over the weekend which means that my January wage should be pretty bumped up which should hopefully mean I can clear my debts then!! I was walking to work wondering how the he'll I would get cash together to get rid of them once and for all and fingers crossed this is it!! I do have to work 12 hours today but it's only one day and for £60 quid extra I don't mind too much :D only question is can I be bothered coming in early tomorrow to get the same money for that shift or have a lie in and get £30? Decisions decisions!!

    Also some good news, we had a competition at work a while ago, the manager of the winning shop would get to go to Haydock to play deal no deal and win upto £10,000 for the shop. Our shop won so the manager (who is also my sister) got to go, unfortunately she got carried away and lost all the money:o But dear old Fred said as she played so bravely he'd give as all £300:beer: So more money to go to my loan repayment savings.:T:T:T:T
