Can you add me please! I've been planning on doing the same thing but could use the support.
I've got £14500 to pay off. I've worked out a plan for getting rid of at least 7k of this in 2012, but would love the push to bump this up and get rid of the whole damn lot 2 years ahead of schedule!
Welcome to the team FortunePig :j:j:j You just caught me before going to cacth some zzzzzzzzzzz's. I'm sooooooo tired today and not looking forward to braving the stores again tomorrow cos my mum is not organised and has hardly bought any pressies!!! I'll just add you to the 3rd post then off to bed for me!
Well done on all your debt busting peeps!!! I need to work out my totals after being paid today but my brain is too sleepy...

Please I have one you can take, I'm only one year older and fed up of it! He does chores and is house trained. Can tidy plates and is ok as long as he has a daily dose of spongebob. Please feel free to have him. I'll even send the presents! Packing his bag for him as I type!0

I am coming to the end of my (paid) maternity leave in January and still haven't sorted out when Im going back but I finally whipped my head out of the sand and emailed HR this evening. I get upset every time I think about going back to work. I was going to take 4 weeks unpaid (as I went on maternity leave 4 weeks early), but my MSE head says no and my heart says yes take it. Luckily Im only part time so I've only got to endure 20 hours a week of a job I hate (although I feel grateful to have as I know there are people out there that can't get a job at all!) And now I live further away my travel expenses with treble. I think Im going to think with my MSE head as its my heart that has got me to where I am today! Im hoping to leave after the 12 weeks (have to go back for that long otherwise have to pay some maternity monies back!) and go self employed- thats if my eBay venture takes off anyway!)
Sorry for the waffle!
And as for wrapping up- how many presents does a 5 1/2 month old baby need :eek:£20 a day April 2014 £834.87/£600 :j
£20 a day May 2014 £108.45/£6000 -

Sorry to put a downer but with family arguments and deaths (3 in 5 years, one slap bang after Crimbo.) Really can't be phased. However the last year for Santa. Tell other half he's very good on Halo, Mario & Skylanders very into his gaming and boys toys like remote control helicopter. Sure he would love that!0
