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

Kerfuffle

Hi,

I'm not sure is this has been mentioned as I tend to skim read the posts regarding Swagb*cks, but I've just read on blog that Feb 27th is Swagb*cks 4th anniversary and that they're giving away $1000.00 prizes.

I admit this was on an American site and it might only be restricted to Swags in the USA, but thought I would let you know, just in case it's happening in the UK and anybody hasn't visited their site lately.

Oh I just made a right boo boo, had extra pennies from doing those sites we dont mention and decided id double my payment on my CC, anyway made my payment, clicked confirm and realised it was my mums CC (she took out for me) not mine rang up and told them what I had done and they said if mum rings on monday they could swap the payment over, but have realised that if I make min payment on mine this month then make min payment on hers, and overpay rest i would have paid on hers for the next couple of months I can get to where I was trying to be

Oh just causing myself bloomin problems because I was rushing and not double checking the card number!

Anyway, due to the 2 payments made, new total is:

£2760.81 / £8806.89 31.35%

We're not doing well with CC payments today! Hope it gets sorted for you

Kerri - sorry you are having a bit of a rough time but don't worry too much about OH. I'm not sure how old he is but if he's still in his 20s, he will possibly change his mind re marriage as he [STRIKE]grows up [/STRIKE] gets older .

Hey, I was just giving you both a head start! Is the hare faltering? There's a determined tortoise, here!

Sorry, you said tortoise but I just had the image of Touche Turtle in my head!

I'm such an idiot. I put all my monthly spends on my CC and pay it off in full each month. I've just sent my monthly payment, and had a horrible sense of deja vu at the confirmation page.

My CC now has a balance of £740... in CREDIT. Whoops! :rotfl:

Some grovelling to do, I think!

So glad I'm not the only doing this. Felt guilty doing this but as long as I stick within the budget it works

Right well off to have dinner tonight for Valentines/ Anniversary/ OH B-day.

His present landed today and I am starting to see his LBM. He's spent all day taking the front end off the car to get to the alternator which will cost £75 to replace rather then forcing out £300 to get it done!

Bless it his one thing he treats himself, guess you could call it a midlife crisis car. We all went out for tea. He got the KFC and I bought doughnuts! Very shameful. Though feeling a lot more positive my budget has not been as tight as I thought. Even though I have an expensive month with me and the kid for a weapons course and his first aid certificate for his blackbelt its looking go so far.

So going to keep being very tight and see how much I can clear this month. Though I can't do as well as I did last month I'm aiming to get to £5849.04 paid off. Lets see if I can do it!

Hopefully dinner out won't cost that much so I'll see you all later

Total bow out today. £120 on a lovely puffa jacket for OH for Canada, £35 discounted gap jeans, £35 guess tshirt, £45 long sleeved guess tshirt, £35 lunch. Complete blow out but I've got a lovely new outfit that fits perfectly (h&m, top shop don't fit properly). OH is 35 by the way

Just had a rubbish night out with uni mates, I was having a laugh with one of the girls and said something that I thought wasn't too outrageous in jest, one of the others threw a massive tantrum and I think I've pretty much been kicked out of the group of friends I was on the outside of already. So...

Wanted: some lovely fiends that can don't get smashed all the I'm, don't take other or grated, and try to resolve minor problems instead of throw a paddy. Location: currently London. For: 25yo DFW that tries to be nice to people, but expects them to treat her the way they expected to be treated, and likewise she'll return the gesture
