    ive bit the bullet, and bought my Big Shot Pro :o cost me £257 and ive set aside £43 for some dies :o it has gone on the credit card BUT thats only because I wanted the points, money is sat waiting to pay it off :D

    Bit nervous at paying out such a huge amount of money but in the words of DH 'you've wanted one for years, and with the money you got from selling your phones win it hasnt cost anything, so shut up' . . . . maybe you didnt all need to know that last bit :rotfl:

    Afternoon all. I've just had my first full weekend off since before October, it was very messy, I didn't sleep from Friday night until Sunday but oh boy did I deserve it.

    I've worked out that the overtime I've done clocks about 69hrs on top of my normal 40hrs and that's just for the past 3 weeks....lots of extra hours. At time and a half this should put another 3rd into my pay packet just in time for Christmas woohoo.

    HMRC also sent me through my refund so I've divided it up between OD and CC. I know that the CC has the higher interest, but it's quite nice seeing the OD go down. The OD is now at £650 and because the OH has my CC hidden somewhere my debt isn't going to increase anymore \o/ yay!

    I've got another £500 owed in expenses which I shall declare when that comes through, I think I'll use that to clear the OD and the rest can go towards the CC. When my overtime comes through anything over my normal pay amount will all go towards my debt, which should completely clear my CC leaving the DCA one remaining. That'll be such a major thing for me :)

    So new totals: £707.65 / £3540 (19.99%)
