Adding to my life - Subtracting the debt!

lilmissmup

Managed not to add anything to my credit cards this month which is good as I have my car service on Monday which is going to cost about £160 so I want to put that on my credit card so I don't actually have to pay it off until end of August statement.

Was my birthday on Tuesday and got £200 cash for it, want to spend it on getting a new tattoo but would be more sensible to pay it off debts, will probably keep it for when we go on holiday to Cornwall at the end of the month.

I have some old tattoos that could do with some TLC too at some point! So once the car is paid off I will prob spend some cash on body art!

Starting trying for a baby again this month so hopefully that will go smoothly next time round.

Other plan is to loose some weight but its not happening at the moment, should have lost the weight before summer as now I am showing off my muffin top to the world!

Hi lilmissmup,

I really enjoyed reading your thread, love your optimism & just wanted to wish you the best of luck with the job interview, clearing up debts & on getting pregnant...such exciting times!!!

Hi Shelbi!

I was Debt Free back in 2008 but shiney things tempted me back to the dark side!

Plan to be debt free again within next couple of years though!

Birthday money all gone on clothes and new hair cut, probably going to get some quotes for the tattoos I want soon, might even go over to somewhere today to ask.

9 days until we go camping! 4 days until payday and some more paid off the loan! :j

Updated signature with current debt totals, haven't been able to pay anything extra off the loan this month as spent a lot on holiday but I should be able to pay an extra £300 off it next month hopefully as wages should be about £350 more in them than this month!

Got my next tattoo booked for 24th August too which is going to cost £120ish. First one in 8 years, then might get some others redone.

No news on being pregnant, taken a back burner on it since miscarriage but going to start trying properly again this month, would love to be pregnant by end of year.

So sat down yesterday and worked out a list of stuff that we need to do to sell house....

My OH has owned this house for about 10 years and he built an extension on it when he lived here with his ex wife and kids and well its never been finished.....:cool:

Where we live is basically a 2 road village, theres no shop, 2 takeaways and its got no public transport links.

The only perks are its quiet and safe round here and close to my route to work, takes me 20 mins to get there.

Its also close to where OHs kids live but they will probably be moving next year anyway.

So heres the list anyway, putting it on the internet might make things get done quicker. Theres not enough room for us and more children here plus I want to live somewhere with at least one shop and not in his marital home either.
