    :o debts were also rn up trying to keep up with friends, seemingly 'enjoying' life. I cook really cheap things now, its better anyway! Living cheap, and spare money enjoying holidays rather than takeaways! Obviously, the enjoyment splurges will be when the debts gone! Thats why I have a cinema card, I dont think £15 is bad to spend on entertainment each month.

    First mystery shop tomorrow! :D free sarnie and paid to do it.
  • Hey, as someone else said it is probably a better idea to pay off the capital one card first, according to your SOA the APR is the highest. Also once you have paid off one card, it'll probably give you a boost of seeing one debt completely gone :)

    :beer: my partner has moved in so I now have an extra £200per moth plus £100 towards food.

    Bye Bye Debt! :p
  • The first month of your other half moving in pays off your capital one ;)

    EXACTLY! Though I's a litle more complicated - I owe him £30 already. so I'll get £30 less. And I have left a party plan company and dont have the £500 of kit in full to send back so they will bill me for the difference (I reckon I'll owe them about £200). But I could clear the card - then set up a DD to clear balance in full, and may the payment on the CC. ;-) playing around with it to avoid interest?!

    Feel much better. :-) Also - got the chance of a new job possibly. Only started this one 5 weeks ago, and I dont dislike it, but more money is more money right?! IF I were to be given the chance.

    Also - first mystery shop yesterday, was fun! SO waiting for £6.75 to be processed into acc. £3.00 re-imbursement though - but a free lunch and a few quid - plus i nipped out during work. So definately worthwhile! Waiting till my report gets checked then I can apply to do more shops. Hope they hurry!
    :T
    Everythings going in the right direction!
