    Yay! Nice to have you both on board!

    Glad you've had your OU confirmation as well DDFW :)

    Payday, hurrah!

    I've also had some ebay sales which I'm going to count towards my target as my October financial month starts today.

    So that's £15/£300 = £285 to go.

    I've got to work tomorrow which is a bit annoying, but I'm going to try and get some bits listed on ebay this weekend.

    Morning :D

    I have just sorted out monies in the bank. My tenant doesnt pay rent until next week so things a bit tight till then. Have updated spreadsheet and made a list of things I want to bring home from stables to clean up and get on ebay this weekend. I am due £60 from TCB so hoping that will come through this month and going to start again on surveys etc.

    Happy weekend everyone - Jwil - hoping the working day goes quick for you.

    Is it next week you are off DDFW? Happy Holibobs if you are.

    Oh yes and good news. I got a letter yesterday from my credit card saying any purchases I make will be 0% for the next 6 months :D and also in the post I got my car repair bill for £362! :mad: so I am going to pay it on that credit card and throw all my extra pennies in that with the £300 October challenge :D

    That's handy timing with the CC LAM, at least you can put it on 0% and clear it!

    DDFW - my sig looks good, but it depresses me as I have barely reduced my debt this year :( I won't do that again next year. I've decided that I no longer want to see how much money I'm wasting as it makes me feel crap and doesn't overly inspire me to do more. There's certainly nothing to cheer about as I'm in no better a position than I was at the start of the year yet I've spent all that money servicing the debt.
