The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge

rubywhatashmoo

I've decided to go in later tomorrow and get £30 - I'm blooming knackered after today and am sooooo looking forward to having a lie-in!! I won't get much of a weekend round the other shifts I'm doing, so I don't feel bad slacking off tomorrow morning! Will use that time to watch the penny-pincher programme from tonight though!!

Lulalolly - I had an infection under my wisdom tooth a few years ago and it popped up just before xmas - trying to get an appointment at the dentists the day before xmas and then being on evil antibiotics over xmas meaning I couldn't drink at all was NOT good Full sympathies to you hun, the only good thing about it was it cleared up pretty quick and hasn't come back!! *touch wood*

I can't wait to post my first payments...it's felt like forever!!!!!

Ruby I think you are doing the right thing, there's no point making yourself ill.

CW2 congratulations on your payment, I've got to wait until the 8th!

LULALOLLY- when I had my wisdom teeth out they became infected and I took hundreds of pain killers but what helped the most was a warm salt and water mouth wash.

ANTONIA1 - I have used Tesco vouchers towards a watch for my 21 yr old son, he knows his budget is £200 so this has enabled him to have the cash he wanted for his holiday and also to have some wrap ups and a lovely £135 watch, we work hard and spend our money on groceries we should spend our vouchers knowing that we are buying our family a beautiful, well thought about gift! The guy you work with sounds like a prat and I wonder if he even knows that his wife swapped vouchers for his present :rotfl:

DEBTFREEJU - that's wonderful news, just stay focussed and you'll clear it in no time.

I have a confession I have a big night out on Saturday and have borrowed a beautiful dress BUT couldn't resist the most beautiful pair of shoes reduced from £85 to £20 :T I rarely buy shoes and have told dh that they can be my Christmas present (this is the amount we've set ourselves)......I did borrow the dress though

Amazing amount paid off so far - congratulations everyone xx

Put me down for another £380 paid off please, I've had enough of owing lying total scum bags money

So I make that over £24k busted debt in two weeks now people. Round of applause everyone well done and congratulations

Thank you sharronej! I think you can justify a £20 pair of shoes for a big night out, especially when you have borrowed the dress! xx

ARG! Why are some people so annoying! I was just saying how excited I was to get my mum and step-dad Christmas presents from Tesco vouchers and the two guys who sit next to me said that was really stingy! I think its awesome cos I've got them a present they'd like and they wouldn't want me to spend more than I had to.

Well if they thought that was stingy, someone better call me the 3 ghosts of Christmas :eek: :eek: ive done christmas for 12 people (this includes both my kids and DH!) and so far have spent £88 :eek: nearly everything was won or bought with vouchers that I won or got given free (eg tesco, boots advantage etc) ive only got my sister left who wants a voucher and as ive won £50 worth im waiting to see if they come in handy £10 denominations so I dont have to buy one :rotfl:

Move over everyone, Mrs Scrooge is here . . . now wheres Marley with my dire warning :rotfl:
