Hello waywardbird and nctmum, nice to have you here CW2 and glad you like your number choclover :j

Just back from the outlaws...just about survived but now need a serious drink to steady my nerves :beer:

Back to work tomorrow :eek: DH is at home with the kids so I'm going to run in, it's only about 3 miles there. Need to run off all this food anyway and will save a few pennies :money:

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas yesterday! Mum and i had quite a fun day walking on eggshells, and my sister got a tooth abscess and is off to the dentist today :undecided so we'll be going for a merry boxing day!

I got some lovely presents, fleecy pyjamas, fleecy cover, hot water bottle (is this a hint?) Some money for then sales, and a garden weather station (not the humongous ones), which I am geekily excited about!

Paid another £350 off, which means I now have a total of #17 £2971/3486 =85.23%

I owe just £515 now, and could have this paid off by end of January if I live the most frugal January and February possible!

Loving the sound of your pressies, I swear by my fleecy jimjams. Go for frugal and kick the debt butt!! Chickpea curry for a month should do it :rotfl:

Has anyone seen the adverts for the Dryathlon, giving up booze in Jan? I thought it sounded good, would help some of us save money perhaps and raises money for charity. Only problem is it's my birthday in Jan!! :beer:

So is anyone going to try it?

Perhaps we could do NBDs (no booze days) in addition to NSDs? I might commit to 25 NBDs in Jan :rotfl:

Me and OH was talking about this - we may well give it a go

Haha spag I don't think my housemates would thank me for that! But I guess cheap soups for a couple of months may help the waistline too!

A dryathlon would be really popular at my work, but i won't be back until the 7th of Jan to mention it! Is it just January that people are doing it? I might join in, I'll save about £10 on wine, but then I'll just owe £505!

I dug out an old tiramundi pot, and found notes inside it's - does anyone *cough* jakes-mum*cough* know how to get them out without smashing?

Can I join? I'm a complete newbie on this challenge but a long-time lurker on the forums. I've learned a lot over the years but I think this challenge will really help me. My total is:

10213

Hi peeplets, oooh a lovely shiny new thread. I know I'm a bit of a fraud because I've paid off my debts but can I join please to build up my safety pot of £1000 and make over payments of £2.5k on the mortgage? :A

You are more than welcome! In fact, I think it is great to have success stories sticking around to offer the odd bit of support to us who are hoping to achieve what you've done!
