Morning All - Well October is here and the sun is out. I hope everyone had a great weekend, and made the most of the bright but chilly weather.
Me - I spent the weekend doing housework, and playing around with my finances (so my sig is now fully correct as of today).All debt is now on 0% interest cards which is a godsend - so anything I pay really is a payment!:D
Still an absolute mountain to climb but I will get there - I have never been more determined.We tried earlier in the year, but things fell through but in the next 2 years we will need to move and I really do not want to take these debts with us -
. So the more we can focus now the better. Did not get to sort the shed - will leave that for next weekend ( ohh my rock and roll lifestyle). But will be ebaying like a crazy lady as I would if possible like to pay for as many Christmas presents as possible from my sales, whilst reducing the debt - and I figure whilst people are shopping for gifts I may have what they are looking for
. Thats the theory anyway!! He he .
Anyway target for today NSD ( except postage for parcels) :money:
Target for October - To be as close to the number 36 as possible - I reckon 37.5 with some real focus..So on your marks get set....
Have a great Day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.
2017. Lets start this again shall we?

Wow ! I totally admire your enthusiasm & energy !
Great news on all @ 0% - that's fantastic :T
I made a small start on your brilliant idea for gift bags - I bought the bags .... Well I did say it was a small start :rotfl: now all I need to do is work out what to put in them
Have a great week xThe final chapter - £4893 to go out of £30K0 -
Thanks Fae - Yes it really should help.
Coco - No worries I [STRIKE]stole[/STRIKE] Acquired it of sorts from the board. I am on the look out for chocs now..:rotfl: Last year everyone got a box of animals ( if you remember them) and they loved it! A little bit of retro food cheered them all right up. What was even better I got 2 boxes for a £1.So looking for something similar - I always do chocolates the same for them all not huge or expensive - just enough to help them OD on sugar through Christmas..even though everyone is older now, they still appreciate it.:rotfl:
Currently have my eye on boot bag ( football) and a training top -get both for a fiver hopefully and then thats one finished completely
. But also have a few birthdays before then so have been making sure they are done.
Have a great day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.

Morning All - Loving this 0% malarky... Have made a few smaller payments today and directly hits the figures. All other cards are in credit by a few £'s so when they issue the final statements later this month we should be balanced..few more bits on the bay of e this week I think...my aim is to of cleared the smallest card by end of year if possible just with selling selling selling..
Hope everyone is well - Catch Up soon xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.
