  • Mad panic trying to pack the last of my stuff. I know I'm only moving out of home so if I miss bits it's not the end of the world but my parents want it done tomorrow.

    Last nights worrying is catching up with me now which isn't good!
    HSBC CC - £3000 / £3000
    Halifax CC - £1032.77 / £1032.77

    *big hugs to the orange one* anytime you fancy a cuzza you can give me a shout if you like :) (not sure how far you are from North London, but I regularly go to Ipswich, and Sevenoaks for business).

    I've tried to thread my overlocking machine this evening 3 times, now I'm giving up!

    Going to thread up the sewing machine instead and make my sister a nappy roll from the CK fabric I bought all those months ago :D


    Thanks Kerri... You actually drive past me on the way to Ipswich then as I'm in Chelmsford! Oop the A12.

    You have partly inspired me to get crafty by the way, me and a friend want to get making stuff. Just need to find ££ to get material now :D

    Know that feeling babble, I seem to have become a hermit since wanting to get debt free! Struggling to even get to the free bingo because it clashes with the free parking times at karate for little one!

    Right another quick update, preparing bills while away. Vanquis is cleared so off to update my sig.

    No 149 Total paid £5,731.27 - total amount paid off is 40.19%

    We submitted all our forms to our friend the accountant and she informed us today that we are due a rebate of..... :j$5000:j
    We have never got so much back before.:T All the overtime I have worked for the past year affected my tax code. Every cent of this is going towards the debt. DH said 'Ooh we could have a few nice meals on that', then saw how excited I was about putting it towards the debt and stopped mid-sentence! :beer:

    Woop woop Canuck!! I got a tax rebate last night too (no where near 5K though (oh imagine if it was - I'd be almost debt free!)... I am not going to announce it until it's in my bank though as I never trust cheques, even from the HMRC! haha! xxx
