    Go for it minicooper - I have done RFL 5 times and it is a great day. I have also run a marathon and once was enough of that:eek:

    Kerri - Your shelves look great. I love having everything organised, not easy in my house, with DH and DS mess makers, to keep it that way.

    I have paid £300 to the secured loan offset today and am popping to the bank this morning to pay £90 in from my change pots. This is going to come off the debt too.

    DH and I went shopping yesterday and he treated me to a few things. I felt a bit guilty as it was his bonus and he only got 1 thing! I did contribute all my personal spends though and he got so much pleasure out of doing it.

    Me too! It's a pretty insistant little bug this one ( no idea why auto correct thinks it's an insist ant bug). A day of rest for me, and I'm home for some mum care!

    I think I'll sign up for the 5k run then and that's me committed, not just aiming to the target date! I've seen the C25K site before, but think I'm going to steal the OH old smartphone so I can try a zombies running app!

    Morning

    Yesterday's change tin contained £120, not £110, so my new total is

    #11 - £4877.20/£10,224 = 47.70%

    I also won £550 on on-line Bingo last night, so when that is paid onto my bank account I will be paying off the rest of the credit card and starting on the next most expensive debt.

    I am thinking about buying myself something out of £50 of it and throw £500 to the debt, although I just felt guilty spending £3 in £land so I am not usre if I can :eek: Maybe I am getting a bit obsessed with this debt busting!

    Happy easter everyone

    Well done Fleurlur :D:D

    I am watching the pennies. Argh. Pay day seems so far away:rotfl: well it is, but still... my OH gets paid on Friday from his 2nd job! We've been thinking about paying off the sofas when he gets paid but hum, might be better to wait.

    Wow, fantastic win!! I think you should give yourself a little treat but if £50 seems a bit much just go for £30.

    Right, DH is going to try a car booty for the 3rd weekend in a row, the other 2 have been cancelled!! It is an indoor one in a car park so hopefully there will be some attendance even though it is Easter Sunday!

    good thinking Spagbol, maybe some new make-up. I just returned an unwanted gift and changed it for a new bottle of perfume, so I have treated myself today :D

    whole amount will probably go on the debt now.

    The first thing I am buying when all debt has gone is a macbook air. I will deserve it by then :rotfl:

    The bootsale will probably be packed tomorrow, especially as most shops will be closed. Not sure that people can cope with 1 day of not buying something!
