Yahoo! Now under £30,000 which is a great psychological boost. Work was Ok and survived going to court which was good! I loathe going TBH but getting more confident as time goes on, although will always be nervous me thinks! Plus I always have to dress smart & thats just not me!! Anyway, its done for a while & no more planned for a while!
Iam not actually in work now until next Tues! A course tomorrow locally which I am going on with a cuple of collegues & then babysitting. I'm hoping they wont be too late as I'll have to be up at 5am to get the train..
Really pleased to have built up a bit of emergecy savings money and will add a bit to that each moth. I do think there is a delicate balance between saving & having CC's paid off and while I now some say not to save the CC that I use has 17% APR so makes ence to pay that off but the low LOB ones I feel happier with a bit on/balanced with some saving IYKWIM! Unsurprisingly I didnt hear from the woman about the sewing machine which is more than a tad annoying! I'll leave it this week and to ebay on Sunday if I've not heard. Not great for timing as I'll be back in work the following week but never mind, I'll cope!
Ok off to hunt bargains. Hypno I did think about making money from cards etc but like sea dont think they are good enough! The carrot cake went down wel in work, delicious recipe & the whole loaf had gone by 11, even to people who dont like carrot cake so chuffed with that!

Fantastic about going under £30000 Brilliant stuff!

I love all my stash - although most of it is now about 2.5 yrs old as I had to stop myself!! Thinking about it again has made me want to do some scrapping - I've got alsorts in there...might do some tonight and have a good sort through

ah a bunch of scrappers! can i bustle my way in? I'm still in the beginners stage but am lucky to go to a monthly crop. I made my OH an mini folded album for his birthday - free - and very personal and he loved it. I was so chuffed. I'm on UKS but don't go there much cos it's so huge and i just don't know where to start.
