Oh my they'll pay £20 for them!!! I only paid £3....Diary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

So, I've gone backwards by £84.92 - new taps for bathroom sink and bath/shower, plus new toilet seats for bathroom and downstairs loo
:( OH's dad is going to fit the taps for us which will save a bit but still need to get a plumber for the leak
Not declaring the effect on my total yet though. I will wait until more payments have gone through so my % doesn't go the wrong way :A
However, would like to update my weight:
#77 14lbs/63lbs :T:j
Slowly, slowly.....
Got a further discount on our wedding rings (all booked and paid for now). We had budgeted £2,000 originally (:eek: I know - I wasn't thinking about debts at the time). Anyway, we've managed to get them for £878 (platinum for me, palladium for OH) and that's just the trade cost of the metals. Jeweller is making them for free for us :j:j He def gets an invite now
(was on the maybe list as his wife helps out a lot with the horses, which I have little time for these days
)
Sorry, a little off thread, I know, but I'm excited and a saving's a saving, right?! :A:jDebt Free By Xmas 2013 #010 £16,660.26/£16,660.26 100% paid, DFD 25/06/13!:j0 -

Will try to find a picture of someone in the bra on the interwebs and see if I can send that.

Ah, I have a lot to lose so it's easy getting those lbs off to start with (plus I had a head start)
I've just done my meal plan for this week and my shopping list and it looks as though I should be well under budget, which is great. :T I feel as though I want to make extra payment (there's a lot of payment envy on this thread, isn't there!? :rotfl:). Hopefully, if I come in under for the month I can transfer the difference to credit cardThat'll appease me for a short while :rotfl:
