    Hi guys :wave:

    I hope you are all well. Hi to Jemma if ur reading, I see you popped in a while ago to say hello.

    How are everyone's baby-bumps and cats doing?
    Sorry to hear ur cat is being fussy Kerri, they certainly know what they want the little terrors!! :rotfl:

    I haven't really got much to update, still need to get a spreadsheet sorted. I have paid another £50 to MIL who covered my rent arrears when we moved, so I have paid her quite a bit back now.

    It would probably be easier if I started again with my targets and broke it down into sections so I know what's getting paid cuz at the moment its one big muddle in my head :undecided Would that be OK Spagbol?

    That's fine, just shout in large coloured letters what you would like changed! :D

    Baby bump coming on very well thanks, only 2 months and he could be here! Crikey!

    Welcome Grassgirl :wave: You are #188, get debtbusting now!

    32b3...you are #189 for your mum's debt challenge, how much is your target for this?

    Curry-wise...there is a really good sharwoods chicken biryani sauce on offer at the moment at Mr S for £1 it is a jar and a pot of spices on the top, just add chicken and rice and one-pot cooking! It is very tasty, I normally cook from scratch but am looking for shortcuts for when the baby is here and really like this one.

    So glad it's not just me! At the start I hoped we could shift a cool £mil, now I'm holding out for the half £mil. :cool:

    O/H is trying to do lots of overtime wherever he can and is thinking of getting a weekend job too. Bless him. I won't be able to get a weekend job as I'm starting my final module soon, and it gets very tiring with full time work. Just really want to get out of here and into a place of our own! Soo impatient right now.
  • 32b3 I didn't notice your debt free post until Spag quoted it there! Have no idea how I missed it, I've been reading constantly! Congratulations on being debt free :j:j
  • Massive congrats 32b3!! Very proud of you

    Thanks for my new number Spagbol. The total to be paid for that number is £7538 :eek: Whats the cost tells me this will be paid off at the end of April next year, but I hope to shave a few months off of that. I reckon I will still be here next year though :D

    Thanks for all the messages re being debt free. Not sure how I felt about it really. I was a bit lost on Friday with nothing to pay, because I paid everything on Thursday, so god knows what I am going to do when I finish my Mum's debts. I will be looking for someone else with some bills that need paying lol

    Jonesy, definitely not wrong to get excited to see everyone making payments. I love seeing the end of month figure. We have all done so well so far this year :D
