    Ooh I am sooooo with you on the "dream house" thing!!! There is nothing "wrong" with my house either, apart from it being a mess, but then that is not the fault of the house, just of the slutty woman who owns it........:o

  • pay day tomorrow :j :j :j am so excited :rotfl: . I am a right old saddo as I cant wait to pay my bills and get my debt totals down. I cant wait for Wednesday as well to start my 2 challenges. I just want to go for it now. I keep daydreaming about the house I want. I have looked at this house for years. Every time I pass by the village it is in I drool. It now has a for sale sign up outside it :sad: Even without the debt I couldn't even think about it but I can dream. I had only seen the outside before but now I have access to the inside I love it even more. Need to keep scratching and clicking and money saving lol cos you just never know. I'm only about £300k short :o .
    Only spent 85p today on a small bottle of juice so am pleased witht hat. My mum made us our dinner so a wee freebie there. Kids were off today but unfortunately I had to work or maybe that should be fortunately as I would have had to entertain them if I'd been ast home not to mention feed them :eek: . Still on the healthy eating but feeling a bit wobbly tbh so better read a few pages of my motivation book to keep me going for another wee while. I started doing Eager Learners clicks tonight but it was taking me hours and I got fed up. Should take less timethe next time though as I had to join them all tonight. I withdrew another tenner from scratch card sites tonight. Hopefully the 2 tenners dont come through until Wednesday or after so I can count them towards my £5 a day challenge. Need to start thinking how I am going to manage 3 nsd's per week as well. I'll do it though . Going to join the grocery challenge too and see if I can stick to it for the first time ever. Going for £280 for October so that should be fine. I will cut it down each month if I manage it. Take care all and woohoo pay day tomorrow :j

  • hey SS you are doing really well. Just checked out your signature. Well I have paid the CC'S. Oh I haven't marked up snowball yet:eek: . How could I forget. Getting obsessed with clicking I think lol. I started doing eager learners click list as well as my daily scratch cards but jeezo man I would be sitting here all night so I will have to just do some each day I think and see how it goes. I actually have enough money to pay everybody this month from my wages so the money I get in every week just has to pay food and petrol. Hopefully this will mean I can make some overpayments and get started on Christmas pressies. I'm feeling excited about money saving again. Spent £7 in local shop todayas treated the kids to some chicken dippers (YUK) but they like them every so often for a treat and I bought them a couple of sweets and some juice. They have done without treats all month as I was rooked so it was a small price to pay. I am starting shopping challenge in earnest tomorrow anyway. Definately going to try for £280 for the month. There are 4 weekends before the next pay so this gives me £70 per week. Thats loads in comparison to what I have managed this month but I need to stock up a bit so will allow that for now. So challenges start tomorrow and I am raring to go. £5 per day, 12 nsd'S and shopping challenge. :j canny wait lol
    Lunar. I hope you are well and cant wait to see your baby and to hell with the weight just now just enjoy your life. x

  • oooooo siggy all updated and only £38 odds to get under £14k. Really tempted to pay it off of something but needing to do a card shuffle this month due to 0% ending and not sure yet which card to target. Hmmm:confused: . Oh to hell I am going to go and pay £40 to the card I need to transfer and get it under this and that also means I have less to transfer. £13k looks so much better than £14k lol. I'm sure you will all agree and it means I have paid off £3k from my cc debts since I totalled them honestly. :j
