richjames_2

Hello....not sure if this is how I join!?

I've added up my debts and want to pay off £12,733.04 by xmas 2012. This is going to be a hard challenge but I'm desperate to do it as I'm 32 this year and want to be debt free and on the property ladder by the time I'm 35.

My debts are:
Credit card - £4333.03
Credit card - £4150.00
Credit card - £1850.01
Credit card - £2400.00

Kerri I LOVE CK I never thought of looking for fabric in that lovely Swedish shop :rotfl: I want the ck throw for the bed but at £150 :eek: my OH put his foot down and rightly so. So i was thinking of making a patch work one with different material :j

Your photos of your made items are lovely again..... very jealous, think the sewing machine will be out today so I can practice.

Aw thank you I was looking at the blue polka dot pillowcases in the sale and trying to work out how much it costs me in fabric at £12 a metre vs how much I'd need. I reckon for the cost of 1 in the sale I can make 2! Trying to price up how much the duvet would be, and thinking £24.... does this sound about right for a CK duvet? 2m of fabric folded in half sew each edge and finish the 3rd with handmade buttons

Ooh whilst I'm thinking MSE'y I reckon I could cheat, get a cheaper non CK fabric for the underside of the duvet, therefore CK duvet for £12 ooooh where's the lightbulb smiley?

All this talk of CK and I've gone and ordered some oilcloth that was in the sale and matching cotton. £21 that's my spending money for this week gone, and some of next week as I had to pay for postage, oh well I'll have something to make this weekend

I did TCB it though for 6.18% cashback

Sitting here feeling slightly jealous our nearest nice Swedish shop is 2 1/2 hours away ooh well at least it means I can't spend in the sale.

Afternoon all.

This afternoon I have put in a claim for PPI with Welcome Finance - its an old claim from 2003 so I am not too sure if it will go through but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Its about £2.5k so it would be a nice amount if it is successful.

Oh Joy! Hurrah! Huzzah! and Yippee! :j Was sorting through the loft today and found a big bag of my DD's old baby clothes that I'd hung onto. Had a rummage and it's all Next, Gap, OshKosh and Boden stuff. :beer: Off to Ebay I go.................:rotfl:

Happy new year everyone!

Well done everyone, you are all doing brilliantly.xxx
