    Well today just keeps getting better. Went for out big shop and with multi-saves, clubcard double up and money off vouchers, got £120 worth of shopping for £58!! Stocked up on Aquafresh toothpaste which was reduced to 63p- I'm easily pleased!

    So a wee bit extra money in the pot. Yay!!
    Total Debt: 1383/ £8121

    Aiming to clear 50% by Xmas 2012 :j

    Hi Guys :wave:

    I have been really rubbish recently, but busy is a good thing I suppose as it means I am going to be making more money that I can pay off more debt :jwith. I haven't really got time to catch up now....:naughty: Naughty me! But I hope you can forgive me and fill me in on what's been happening in the MSE world.

But unless I come into some money or make a fortune I won't be able to do that by Christmas. But I'm gonna pay off as much as I can!! That's what we're here for :beer:

  • Jemma, sorry you had such a rough day :( Re the trip this weekend, you need to do what is right for you. Would your boss understand if you explained the situation? Can you go but just stay in the B&B? Sending you a huge hug xx

    Can I have a number too please?:j

    Also well done Kerfuffle:beer:
    Nothing much to report from me as my payday is in the middle of the month rather than the end. Have done a carboot but used that cash to live in rather than spending more from my bank! Done some extra work but will get paid for that in Aug :p Counting down to payday is a little like wishing my life away but I can't wait to be DF!

    p.s. everyone around me seems to be having babies which I need to buy presents for....any money saving tips here would be welcome! :D

  • Oh Jemma so sorry to here you have had a rough time recently. You are doing so well. You need to do what is right for you with regards to the weekend at Snowdon. I don't see how your boss can say anything as you said you will pay for the BandB so don't worry about it.

    If there is anything that I can do to help on here PM me.

    Well we are off to Wales for 12 days tomoz so wont be on here. Stay safe everyone and keep plugging away at the debt.;)

  • Aw Jemma, so sorry to hear you are having a tough time :(
    All us DFBX12 peeps think you are marvellous, you need to be proud of what you've achieved on here, we couldn't have done it without your inspiration- we've collectively paid off nearly half a million !
    I know that I wouldn't have done it without the support on here and you started it all off.
    Thank you.
    I hope you are soon feeling perkier and that your boss will be understanding, definately don't go if you are unsure xx

    Thank you everybody for all the congratulatory messages :D, I had a good day although came home absolutely shattered, like a 4 year old after first day at nursery school, and I missed my snooze.:rotfl:

    Had a nice warm feeling that I'd earned xx.xxGBpounds, and didn't spend any money all day. I needed a drink (non-alcoholic) as I left work but got a freebie from my daughter as she owed me. Tomorrow I'll take a juice specifically to drink as I leave work so I'm not tempted to spend any money.

    Canucksfan - :T to the end of your night shifts.
