    Hello # 174 Here

    Have updated my Signature for 2015!

    In 2014 I cleared a huge £15,676 but in 2015 I am aiming to finally become debt free and clear £19,376.

    Hope you all have a great Christmas and see you all here on January 1st !

    All the best , the Skipper and Mr Tiddles

    I've taken the liberty of putting you down on the 2015 thread as #174.

    Funnily enough, while my official target is £15,000, my secret ambition is to become completely debt free... which will be approximately £19,300 after December's payments!

    Race you there! :rotfl:

    Microwave has gone on the blink this weekend. Off to buy a new one in Argos today. Half price microwave combi oven from £199 to £99. We have some engagement present money to spend so although I am putting it on my credit card today I will pay off with cash in the week.

    Just in time for Christmas! :mad: Sounds like a good deal on the new one though, good luck braving the Argos Christmas crowds. I worked there when I was a student, and Christmas was a living nightmare.

    In and out in 5 minutes and that included a parking space. Easier than we thought.

    Nice shiny new micro-combi oven. We bought some big jacket spuds for dinner to test it out.
