Hi everyone,

Sorting out Xmas now. Just got a few for dd2 to get and then 5 kids presents (best friends kids), 2 x £10 vouchers and the rest will be hand made with fabric I already have in got all birthday cards til the new year too, £2.58 thanks to the 10 for £1 offer at the works.

Doing every receipt survey (win X for telling us about your experience) I get my hands on.

Hoping to put £500 aside on payday for debt 3 x

This thread is fantastic Am in the process of working out how much I owe (and how further in debt I'll be by the time I start my new job and actually get a pay-cheque :eek:).

Very much a cheerleader at the moment, standing on the sidelines and getting reading to join the game. Is it wrong that I'm quite excited about starting?

Not sad at all Ellie, welcome to the club.

Been AWOL for a while but I haven't really had a goal to reach for but this is changing as yesterday my mortgage got approved. Ill be back on next week with another target. A mortgage over payment target!!!!

Well payday today, doing budget later but seriously hoping for about £500 to set aside for debt 3 (nearly 10%).

Saturday morning i sorted out ALL my stuff i want to sell. Took pics of a few. Going to strat pushing for sales on FB, bumping posts daily etc saves me posting them and the hassle of ebay for a few t shirts etc.

Made £15 on Ebay this weekend. Not great but better than nothing.

Hoping October will be no takeaway month as that is our greatest downfall. Need to get a tesco order done tonight really.

Right off to go pick DD1 up from school.

Paid £150 to the credit card (£129 of which is interest :eek:)

But I'm most pleased to say that debt 3 now officially has 1% (£55.37) set aside and hopefully 10% more once we have done out budget.

The 1% has come from Facebook sales today :T got 1/2% more sat in paypal but waiting to round that up before I send it to the savers account.
