    :j We WILL do it!

    Got to find out more paperwork so I can figure out exactly what the total is. OH needs to pay off his sc on the 8th so we should have some extra cash to chuck in the bank.

    I've just looked at my spreadsheet and we 'only' have another £2,400 to pay so I think I've miscalculated my £4,400 target a little bit:rotfl: So can I update my total to

    £1,633 / £4,100 :j

    :eek: Wow that's impressive! I almost want to try it - but half my income is spoken for by rent, fuel, food and this month is car tax month!

    I have just collected my shiny new laptop and I'm so excited for when I can press the on button (just waiting for the battery to charge). The shopping centre car park is so tight, that I knocked a handrail while parking, and think that my bumper is a little misshapen now. I can't tell if it is, or if I'm just being paranoid though - I wish I knew someone who knew about cars! The handrail walked away from it fine though...

    How about you set yourself a target for Phoenix that you have to hit in order to do the dancing? :

    I like this idea, I have given a brochure to a lady that usually does a big order and know a colleague is wanting to buy more. I am thinking a target of £60 over the next few months will cover the lessons. I am paid up until the last lesson for this course and then there is a few week break until the next one.
    Also working on a potential joint business venture with a friend, but any benefit will be a few months off yet! It will happen, it will happen.

    I'm feeling really motivated today. I am almost half way there to saving 2k to pay off my credit cards. I think i'll have a clear out and find old cds etc for music magpie or something.

    I also have 2 old laptops i might get a few quid for :D
    In debt no more!

    Oh, my tax disc arrived today - woo! That's that done. My insurance renewal quote from crrent insurer is too expensive - £827 - so I am going to shop around and see what deals I can get with cashback too.
