Argh youve reminded me I need to order mail bags too- any recommendations of where to get them?

OMG my carrot and coriander soup is the NICEST thing I have made in ages (and I LOVE cooking) Baby Daughter and I have eaten nearly all of it so I guess Id better make some more for husband and Big Hungry Teenager. Also need to rustle something up for tea. I have chicken or turkey but bought some posh pasta (on offer) so probably a nice chicken pasta-y thing.

I ordered 100 14x12 postage bags on Sunday from fleabay, they arrived today and cost me the inexpensive sum of £5.55 with free postage. I don't want to advertise the seller, so I'll pm you the link to them. Although there are loads on there for a nice price, but I was impressed with how quickly these arrived.

Wonderful Challenge can I join too?, I set myself the same challenge back in August when I had £17892 outstanding currently I have £15106, so I'll start with that.:)

Welcome fruityslh! I have added your name and amount to the 2nd post.

You've done a fantastic job paying off that amount of debt since August so well done :T:T:T

Good Morning!!

Hope everyone is good - for a Wednesday at least

Well - today is the day.... PAYDAY So my total is down by a small amount (with xmas round the corner i've decided not to skin myself - i will keep the extreme debt busting for the New Year)

Paid £140/£5854


New Total = £5714

Here's to the New Year and a debt free life x

Oops - I think my post from this morning may have been missed (its amazing how popular this challenge is)
Pretty please, when you are next upddating, can you update my total. I found out how to increase the font size today, so will make my updates a bit clearer in future.

Happy Debt Busting!!

Mf0u don't feel bad. I think I spent about £400 on craft stuff last month, I don't even need half of it I was just on a binge. It will give me lots to do this month when I'm skinter than a skint flint though. Don't punish yourself though as you'll make it worse. Instead try to treat yourself when you do things that are MSE just like children learn when they get rewards for being good we can be the same.

Thanks kerri_dfw :A, I've just got to think about what I'd tell someone who posted the same thing on here. I wouldn't be hard on them or judge them so I shouldn't do the same just because it's me! xxx

I've just done it my dear and well done!!!:T:T:T xxx

p.s. I'm trying really really hard not to come on here during work except for my lunch break as it's too addictive and I've not been getting any work done :eek:. I'm trying to leave the updates etc until my lunchbreak but don't worry forgottendreams, I didn't miss your fantastic payment off your debt. I'm so impressed :jxxx

I cant pay anything off anything this week (well apart from the DD for 88.01 that will go off Cap One CC this week but next week I should get £240 in my current accounts and £400 housekeeping so should be able to find a few pennies after the £150 overdraft has been sorted. Have to be careful with the housekeeping as I have to remember to buy Xmas Dinner

NOw I MUST go and tidy up the rubbish strewn down my front path that the foxes did by splitting the bin bags. Barstewards.
