startingtogetoutofdebt

Right -payday today and 1st December tomorrow so I'm ready to go.

Budgets are

£150 food
£20 xmas food
£125 petrol
£100 xmas presents

Exercise might be a problem though - does standing in a cold field in the morning for an hour or so trying to keep warm count?????

Lets do it - good luck to all of us!!!!!! We may need it. :eek::eek:

OK so December spends - after paying bills, savings and car tax I've now got £383 left. I'm going away this weekend to Whitby to stay in a hotel for 2 nights as birthday treat for my mum, which I've already taken off, so the following is gonna be my budget:-

£100 food shop -£30 = £60
£110 for x 5/6 social functions (3 already arranged) but friends coming back up from London/Brighton so will meet them for drinks
£48 for x 6 christmas pressies (instead of not buying x 5 pressies will slash the spend in half for pressies I'll buy for friends to £8 each)
£25 for brother's birthday present
£60 for meals etc this weekend in Whitby

I do get paid again on 21st December so I'm not sure what to do as I usually work out my budget from pay day to pay day - HELP please Kat!

DISASTER! I did all my calculations and plans for December on a document on the computer, had to go out to get a few bits, came back and DS 15 had deleted it! GRRRRRRR Will have to do it again tomorrow just hoping I can remember the figures, I was feeling so virtuous too 'pride cometh before a fall' as my dear mum would have said....

Give your name, make your mark, Be the next contender!
Hold tight and hold fast for one bumpy last ride,
To close this year well, to fill yourself with pride...

For one journey will end for another to start,
Let's pull this together lets make fear depart..
Your in charge dear friend of your unknown fate,
Choose carefully dear friend , bust those debts today before it gets too late...

Let the Games Begin and May The Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!

Hello official DDD!!!:T Here we go.:T Good luck to everyone.:T

KAT, your sig is saying your debt is going down rapidly. How many jobs do you do/have? I'd love my debt to go down so fast as well. That would be FANTASTIC to be debt free by the end of 2013. I know it's not gonna happen (I am very realistic).

I have to get my envelopes ready, but have to order a new debit card (the old one expired and a new one hasnt arrived yet )so I can withdraw the money.

Great weekend everybody whatever you do...I am working :eek:...
