Morning one and all
Last night I made spag bol for tea as it was quick and easy as the day turned into a nightmare. I did a load of DIY when I got in too so was shattered last night when finally crawled into bed. The DIY will hopefully add value to the house when we come to sell it to live the dream so it was that thought keeping me going.
This morning I am getting organised again as starting to feel like I don't know if coming or going!
Tea will be pinaculty which I will put on at lunch time on low to cook for tea time. Yum. We have the cooler weather for it here today too.
I am going to look into reclaiming any remaning PPI that I have missed as well over next couple of weeks.
Yesterday was not a NSD in the end as I had to buy lunch at work as worked through my dinner due to being so busy when I was supposed to be going home for it. So rounding up to £5 which I am taking out of my emergency money. Leaves emergency money at £10 for month. Not much of a stash!
Going to look into foraging at the weekend too inspired by the grocery challenge theread.

OMG OMG I have just had the bext news. My 0% family loan is getting wiped clean in Jan 2013. I will have paid slightly less than half back and they said it was their idea all along to not ask for more than this back as a gitft to us to help us towards the good life! I could cry. So happy - (they have no idea of my situ btw) so this is a massive help.
I am off to work out my new figures and DFD!

OK SO, I will go into 2013 with £12306 debt instead of £17568
how fantastic is that.
If I get everything onto 0% for Jan 2013 then I can pay the equivalent of 1025.5 a month (this will be made in uneven chunks but average is this) then I could become DF for going itno 2014 instead of march 25th 2014.
It's certainly a challenge and something to aim for!
So tonight I will sleep on it and may reduce my DFD target to Dec 2013 tomorrow.......how nice that would be!

Morning world
Well if you are following my posts you may know me well enough to realise how impatient I am
After the FANTASTIC news yesterday that from Jan 2013 my 0% family loan is wiped I have decided to pull out all the stops to get rid of this debt. Well initially I pushed my figures to clear it by Dec 2013 which would mean the Christmas pay - always tight right? However I have gone one step futher and decided to go for it earlier in Dec on my birthday which is the 13th, meaning the Christmas pay will be mine all mine!!!!!!
So my new, more challenging DFD is 13th Dec 2013 which is my 33rd birthday. That allows me to be living the dream by my 35th birthday some 2 years afterwards which I have said if I haven't done it by then I won't.
