  • awww huge thanks bd, its nice when you see lurkers post. I want to be an insperation but also a product of what everyone here and the website has created. I still get my times of weakness etc but i try my best to make what little money i have work for me :D

    thanks jet

    Right state of play. I have just payed off all my 0% debt so i am standing here with a clean slate. I said before i took my test i didnt want i car... i guess to a point that still stands. However i am sure that will start wearing off. I am going to see how this month pans out first what with the meet etc. But you will all be pleased to know In no way will i get a loan for a car! I am sorry but in my eyes i dont need a car i have busses here and i can use mums car to keep me refreshed. I will carry on saving but instead of chucking the money in my locked account i want to put it in my open account just incase i would like one. If however before september (cut off month) i dont use it i will chuck it all in my loacked account to get the interest ;)

    so soa for this month

    Income = £902.64

    £100.00 ~ mum/rent
    £65.00 ~ BT
    £11.00 ~ house insurance
    £50.00 ~ bus cards (just gone up however i have a spare empty one here so could be only £25 this month)
    £25.00 ~ Halifax ~ locked
    £25.00 ~ Halifax ~ web saver
    £20.00 ~ Sarah’s cards, monthly scrap
    £50.00 ~ weekly spends

    £150.00 ~ Birmingham spends/night out (could be less than this)
    £80.00 ~ Darren (brother birthday gift ~ driving lessons :rotfl: may not be needed untill febuary but its there incase)

    £155.70 ~ Argos paid 15/01 (woo hoo debt free ~ again) :j

    Total = £731.70

    Left = £170.94

    Obvously whats not used at the meet will go with thw leftovers into my savings. Likewise if i spend too much :o i have the extra there as a cushion.

    Also i need to book my mums and my holiday for may soon, however i am tempted to go for a really late deal :rotfl: not sure yet
  • opps but i didnt include mums birthday gift :rolleyes: but with a bit of shuffling i can pay for my scrap with whats in paypal and then buy mums stuff later in the month.
  • Just caught up on ur thread.......

    :j WELL DONE!!!:j

    Congratulations hun, I'm really please for you :T I just shed a couple of tears when I read all the posts!

    And if today is the start of 2008 for you, Happy New Year :beer: this year is Year of the Super-Pap!

    Loves
