    thanks everyone for asking. my dog is fine. ear infection and anal glands!!! just over £40. stuck it on the credit card as budget is shot until i get paid.

    spagbol in the freezer we have tons of stuff. any cooking i have done recently ive doubled up and then froze so when i go back to work i dont have to come in and cook from scratch. we have chill, curry, shepherds pie etc. also pizzas, quiches, sausages, mince, bacon. i think we will survive xx

    ...I also get little one to hand them over to the buyer if we sell on FB and collect her 'pennies' for her money box, she loves getting more pennies though a true mother of her daughter, she must have brought me most of her room by now to sell . . I had to draw the line when she started bringing down brand new toys and clothes :o

    I would feel very proud!! :p

    can i enter :)

    i started making a real effort to tackle my debts at end of september 2012 and am hoping to be debt free by October 2012 according to my stoozing plan but im sure there will be a hiccup or two on the way so i will say debt free by xmas 2013!

    paid off so far £2,364.06 / left to pay £8406.05

    how do i work out the percentage?

    2364.06 divide by 10770.11 multiply 100 = 21.95%

    LOL :D I automatically assume everyone I meet online is the same as me until I find out otherwise! So everyone starts off as a female 28 year old newlywed with a cat and no kids! Hehehe sorry if there are any people of the male persuasion around that may get offended by that... :rotfl:

    Well I was actually very productive this morning - all my goodies went back to the shops so there will be money coming into my account over the next few days! Also got paid for the last of my ebay items, so have withdrawn that to my bank and cleared my CC :T:T:T OMG how fast does paypal move money to your bank account these days?!?!? Amazing!!

    Am having an issue with Amaz*n now though - ordered a slow cooker on the 29th Dec - was supposed to come yesterday "guaranteed" - it didn't turn up, So I got in touch with their customer services and asked them to return it to their warehouse or wherever and get a refund - well they said they would sort that out - well the slow cooker arrived about an hour ago :mad: I'm glad I didn't buy another one while I was out (I would have but the ones I wanted were both out of stock at Arg0s!!) but I don't want to have to deal with their CS again as they are rubbish!!!

    Right, anyway a quick money update and then it's a few more hours sleep for me before I go to work :cool:

    I'm coming out of lurkdom to let you all know that I'm still here and still doing the challenge :rotfl:

    The credit card statement that I was hoping to get and pay off before Christmas Eve or even New Year's day finally arrived on the 2nd. I wanted to have it gone before the new year purely for psychological reasons but it didn't happen. It is paid now though, and as I instructed ( ;)) Hubby not to use his after the 17th Dec as we weren't to use the cards anymore that should be last credit card statement I receive for some time. :j

    I'm currently waiting to my pay to go into my account on Monday so that I can start transferring money around and I can make a payment to Bank of Mum and Dad :T

    It seems all I'm doing at the moment is waiting, I really must try and go and do something more productive. First though I'll put the kettle on and just have a read of Dave's 100 blog :rotfl:
