  • Ok so I have joined a few little challenges so far to help me onmy way.

    Saving all my 50ps

    Saving all my 20ps

    Pay off 1 debt in full in 2013

    Pay off as much as you can in 2013

    I really think that this will help me on my way to debt freedomness!

    Gonna raid my purse & get all my 20p & 50ps seperated from the spendies.

    Also got a £20 voucher from work as a christmas gift so gonna use that to pay towards OH aftershave then if I use the priority moments app from my phone I will also get a £15 voucher back :money:

    Go meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Heyyyyyy,


    So today I went for my weekly shop & managed to save a bit cos I had a quick gander about in the cupboards first to see whats in there & there is loads so no main meals for me on the shopping list this week yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    So the next couple of weeks lunches & dinners for me will be pasta & sauce & savoury rice with some veggies chucked in for good measure LOL

    Not much debt busting to report today I am just waiting till the end of the month or beginning of January 2013 to sort out a balance transfer to a 0% card then I am gonna get everything written down all the totals so that I can get a plan in action.

    Hope you are all well

    OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG I actually want to kick myself in the peasy head!!!

    How can I let this get up to this amount again what is actually wrong with me?

    I swear to god I am so serious this time no more going back into old habits I will get rid of this debt it may take me a while to do it but I can just see that all the scrimping & saving & staying in will be so worth it in the end.

    Hi dolly rocker I've subscribed to your diary & look forward to following your journey - I bet you do great. We've all been there where the end seems so far away, but plough through it bit by bit, and before you know it it will be jan-14 & you will be setting your new targets which could potentially make you debt free....waw!!!
