The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 2!!!

[Deleted User]

Hubby came home with Fish and chips last night - the sooner I'm back on my feet the better. We took my laptop in to PCW today and it could take up to 6 weeks to come back so I'm going to make a new set of spreadsheets - 6 weeks is too long to be without them.

Thirteen challenges in fourteen weeks, I don't think we had a challenge between 26th Dec - 1st Jan as Kerri was in Wales.


I'm afraid I can't do links.


HTH

Should I be embarrassed that I already had a spreadsheet recording these challenges.....?

Although, it just means you're as sad as us two!

See, this and the former comment just go to show what a total nerd I am.

No shame! :rotfl:

Poohpals, sorry to hear about your laptop

Jemma, Pedro...I'm so confused with this youtub stuff you're talking about, I think I've missed a post explaining somewhere

See Jemma & Pedro you have sooo many things in common!!

I don't understand spreadsheets at all so very impressed with you both sorting it all out & Kerri I have no idea what's going on you tube either!

Not at all, it just shows that you're extremely organised.

Did I manage to find them all, am I correct in that there wasn't a challenge for Christmas week?

Thank you for the thanks everybody.

Woop! Just checked my car insurance renewal - it's magically dropped from over £650 last year, to £340 this year. That's nearly HALF! I check for the best price every year, so I don't know what's happened. I now have 5 years' no claims, maybe that's it? I don't care how, but it's awesome

Kerri - post #3477 for the Youtube reference!

Does anyone else think that Blue Rays sound like a fish...?

Did you wonder why I was standing in HMV holding three fish? I bet the staff were over the moon to find them on the shelf...

I made a video showing Jemma what I was doing - turned out she was doing the same but it wasn't working. In the middle of it, you could glimpse the total amount paid!

I only put it up temporarily, but took it down afterwards - it wasn't going to become a Youtube hit
