    Yaaaaay! Well done to OH and well done on your big pay cheque :T:j

    Bit of a pain about the car but at least it's come at a more affordable time!

    You know our little challenge for the month? Well, I get paid sometime between Friday and next Tuesday (payroll are being vague).. and I have about a tenner left :o ... and a bounced direct debit (kicking myself for that one, not let that happen for about a year now)... :o So, erm, I'm guessing you probably win! xxx

    you have 4 days to make it back!!! If it's any consolation i had a direct debit bounce, my fault for taking my eye off the ball. I have £51 left for 9 days and have to get petrol yet!! so victory is no certainty at all!! I NEED TO EBAY!!!! and yup thank god re the car, if that had been 5 or 6 months ago i'd have been right in the shtook!!
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!

    Ahh.. we'll see! I think most of this week will be taken up with the flat move, suppose I could go out on the street and do a bit of busking when I get a minute.. well, people might pay me to go away! :rotfl:

  • What a positive post - yay - :j

    Not sure whether I will win the end of month challenge either, might just be counting the pennies in the jar at this rate :rolleyes:

    Am with you on car Pania, MOT is due on 1st, it badly needs a service and so with a high pitched frightened squeal I have booked it in next week and am assuming it will be in the region of £300 :eek: Pet insurance needs renewing and I need to pay it up front so that is about £190 going for next month :eek: . Going to visit FIL with kids next week to get them out during half term and hopefully get xmas shopping done on the cheap whilst they babysit so yet more money :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I fear that in reality my debt will increase this month, particularly as the fridge/freezer is slowly packing its bags and leaving the living world, leaving trails of water behind it :mad: Suppose I should put my family's health ahead of money and buy a new one to avoid food poisoning?

    So will probably be a LOT down next month and will have to shove it on the credit card.

    B0ttom!!

    Good news on OH's job - well done him :T

    Yep that's me - err hang on, shouldn't I be rich? :confused::rotfl:

    No ebaying today, not had much time to do anything except work.. oh and nearly everything I own is packed up in boxes! :p

    How about you? x
