    Debt-free and Proud!
    I need to buy new and decent work clothes. Dunno what pot to steal the money from for that! Will have a nosey in the charity shops.

    Have you looks at the sale section on next online? Its there all year round and has some really nice work clothes. I normally get my work trousers from there as they are smart and good quality. Plus you get get it delivered to a store for free and can return them etc.

    I get my stuff frmo Primark and Matalan. :D No shame! :rotfl: Matalan has quite a few nice bits though.

    I won a £50 voucher at Xmsas for an online clothing retailer so I've bought a dress and a couple of pairs of shoes (flats) for the summer.

    I did look at them but my budget can't quite go there! I'm going to visit the big P & Matalan this weekend.

    amr I can sympathise with the house plight - someone needs to block Z00pla and Righty Move on my laptop, as I keep looking at the same 3 flats.

    Am so excited, when I wake up tomorrow I will have paid one of my cc's off, from 1923.07 down to a big fat ZERO. I started paying every spare penny off that I had on 14 January, not bad for a low earner but its been blooming hard. I have worked 60-80 hours a week and have worked myself into the ground so I am resting over Easter break and will start again on the second and final cc when the kids are back.

    I'm exhausted and feel rotten but I'm still buzzing with excitement at having paid off my marker. I feel like my goal of being debt free by Xmas is definitely in grabbing distance

    Noddle - you don't ever pay for! :) Unless you opt for the web watch or noddle improve, which we don't use.

    It's good but it's not up to date - it might be a couple of months behind. But it IS free so that's cool.
