    I think at least one will be sold as im pretty sure Miss Lily is not ready for a real phone (not that she hasnt asked :rotfl:) the problem is 'himself' is tempting me with a Big Shot :eek::eek: I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want one! so so so so so so so so badly (did I happen to mention I want one?)

    Its cruelty thats what it is, you should never tempt a crafter with a new crafty toy when she has means to raise the money :eek::eek: I have debts to pay :eek::eek: . . . . *wanders over to fleabay to see how much a second hand one is . . . . *
    ? what's a Big Shot or am I being thick?

    Hi all, I've been away but back now. I've seriously slipped off the wagon and doubled what I owe :( My pay this month is carp so not much spare to pay anything off. I'm still working on persuading Mr S to not do presents for each other this year. I'm looking at other things to fleabay but my last few items haven't really been very lucrative. Wondering if it's worth trying to find an indoor car boot in the next few weeks....

    Won't be updating my totals as I'm ashamed of it, and want it back down ASAP!

    Don't be ashamed, we've all been there...good luck finding a car booty. I must find one too!

    Well done Brightpurple :T

    I've just realised job 2 diddled me out of a few shift payments since april so that should be a few more ££ for the challenge :j Always check your payslips everyone!! :D

    Dont look at the price tag :o

    Psycho, never be ashamed of your current debt figure, always be proud of what you have paid off so far, regardless of the fact you've had a little slip your still MILES away from where you started :T:T (oh and it was with great difficulty that I have kept my mouth shut, greatly helped by the fact her and her son are not allowed round here so I havent seen her to shout anything :rotfl:)

    Spagbol: :eek: naughty 2nd job! but oooo a nice little debt payment in your future? ;)

    Ahh FYI all, the phones arrived today and I must have a soft spot for 'himself' as I gave him the most expensive one to keep :o
