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

Welcome aboard fariyface

Jakes-mum, please don't do it if you're being prescribed chocolate for medical reasons. It was a chocolate or sweets, so you can have the sweets bit instead. I wouldn't want you to make yourself poorly.

I have no idea how I'm going to last over a week on 150g of chocolate! I will need support for this one myself. Stupid lady setting challenge for something I find impossible hehehe. It's payday on Friday too and I always want choc then tsk tsk

Look Look Look nearly at 5% paid off :rotfl: now that is quite sad, im really excited about that :rotfl:

Aww kerri, ill support you, i'll be stood on the sidelines shouting 'stay away from the chocolate!!!' with a great big bar of dairy milk in my hand :rotfl:

Well done Jakes-mum, and I'm going to need all the support I can get. I'm on a NSD today so I can't even buy reserves

We have tonnes of chocolate in the house too. My cue is to NOT eat any of it this week. I WILL SUCCEED!

Just catching up from earlier.

Welcome all the newbies. As I keep saying DON'T BE ASHAMED! If you want to look at it bluntly - you've spent the money, there's no point thinking "I wish I hadn't bought/spent that" because it's too late.

What you CAN do is draw a line under it, and start afresh. Plan for your future, don't dwell on the past We've all been there, we're all in this together, so let's get it done!

Thanks for the challenge Kerri - I need it to help my waistline as well as my debts!

Yes mf0u1098 it is £1002.39 :eek:eek! didnt even count it......me in denial again.Thank you.

You know I always get the urge to round up my balances on my debts....I am very tempted to honour some lucky person i owe money to with an extra princely sum of £2.39:rotfl:but i dunno who to pick as they are allllllllll so deserving.This would leave me with the £1000 owing.:D

I am going to keep that well known supermarket catch phrase at the back of my mind "every little helps" been having a good read of the old style board, I used my teabag twice, dug out a load of old carrier bags from the shed, to use for the kitchen bin, only had a few dishes to wash so didnt use so much hot water and liquid, I will keep doing small things , which will in time I'm sure will help.

Sorted out some more items for ebay to list tommorow.

Went to the charity shop today, its amazing, its a small village and they are sensible with their prices, I got a sealed dk french cd language course, says £25.00 on the back it was a £1.00, I just opened up an amazon account today to try and sell that, also bargain of the week, a pair of brand new with the label still on pair of shoes from Topshop price tag said £50.00 guess what they were 50p. So they will go on Ebay.

Hopefully next week when/if I have made sales I can update my total.

Cant wait for tommorow, I'm really getting into this, so glad I found you, god bless x:rotfl:

I made a batch of flapjacks today from stuff I had in the pantry, so that's a week's worth of sweet stuff for the whole family for a no spend! Woohoo! They are really sticky and yummy and much nicer than shop ones, even Marks and Spencer ones. :-)
