:)Even though I wouldn't wish being in debt on my worst enemy, I like that there are people out there that understand and can give each other support IYSWIM:)

mf0u1098 - would you mind please amending my target to £15k and then I can count the money I have paid back so far (I only started in October). It might be a bit cheaty but having two sets of numbers to work out might be a bit too much for my featherbrain. The goal won't change, I am still aiming to have the debt under £10k by Christmas 2012

Good luck to everyone and hello to the all the people who joined after me too:wave:

hmmmm good question, what dfw things have I done today...? Well, I walked to the market (1 mile away) and only spent £2.80 but lost a NSD because of it. I also asked my mum to bring me some food back for tea and she did so technically I didn't pay for it so it's a bit dfw isn't it...?;)

Also got rid of LOADS of skin care products that I have won over the past 6 months . . . To celebrate we did go out for dinner which cost £40 but as I wasnt spending 'earnt money' IYSWIM, I felt that it was ok:o

Welcome GemmaB1 can we call you Gemma? Congratulations on paying off so much in such a short space of time, I hope I can do something similar. Maf0 will be along to give you a number soon. Welcome to the party.

jakes-mum that is absolutely awesome, wish I could get as much off fleabay as you. Just had a buyer ask if I will sell an item BIN... replied with "no" considering I have 3 watchers and over 6 days remaining. Do you do a lot of comping to win the toiletries? I must attempt some of that.

I've been truely terrible today. I wanted chocolate but didn't want to change out of pyjamas or leave the house so I opened the pack of 22 cadburys minis that santa was meant to be giving my nephew. Oops! Well they were only £1 so I can easily buy him some more.

Ive been comping since January, and have won most of the family's christmas presents, that includes DH, DS and DD's entire christmas I have bet with DH that I cant do the entire family Christmas for £100, so far spent £41 and only have MIL, 2 x Niece, a part of my dads and my sister left to buy for I tend to enter anything thatwant or I think I can sell Ive found since were getting super close to Christmas that the wins are not as forthcoming, so have put it on a back burner till the new year
