    Whenever I weigh out the recommended portion size, it's never very big, no matter what cereal I eat! I rarely eat cereal though. That doesn't sound like a bad lunch though, depends how you cook the Couscous?

    for the couscous: open packet, add water... done :rotfl: its gross but its a two portion pack so i have to eat it! hopefully the other ones taste better :D

    Morning all

    Just a quickie before I start work. Managed to pay off a whopping £1,000, yes £1,000!!!!! off the CC. It means there's not much room for spending this month and I haven't put any aside for emergencies but I really needed to wallop the CC this month to keep me on track for June.

    My total debt is now just £716, I can't remember the last time my debt was only 3 figures :D

    Hmmm debt is going nowhere...business on the other hand seems to have done ok for the first month. Total spend £490, total takings £160. Going in the right direction at least.

    Have just spent more money on some new stock, but it will allow me to diversify the ribbons I stock. More or less all the stock is listed on the website now, and I've just sorted out my Google+ account, which is meant to be really good for SEO. Does anyone want to google my little business and click the +1 button next to the link for me?

    Have now given the OH my CC so I can't spend anymore money. This worked really, really well last time so I'm hoping it will again this time. Going to hit it with £500 each month until it's zapped then cancel it. Might be a slight hiccup when we go on holiday, but hoping that'll be ok.

    Cat is currently sat on me recovering from being spayed yesterday, the other one has taken a liking to chasing her grr.

    my debt busting seems so slow. and as we are no longer paying off the sofas I guess I'm not gonna pay off all my debt by Christmas:rotfl:

    when i finish my other debts on 15th June I will just declare my savings target to work towards :)

    Kerri what's the business page called? I'll +1 you!
  • I've made a small payment today which I won't count. It was interest only, and was the last interest on my fee incurring credit card. Princely sum of 58p has this card completely squared off!

    I'm not cancelling it yet, but it's not in my purse and not being used. All the rest of the debt is 0% until Xmas 2013 on one credit card.

    I reckoned the card up and made a payment to put my outstanding debt below £3700; I now owe £3699.99 :rotfl:

    Total repaid now is 154.12 / 3854.11
