    Is there a breakdown, like how much was extra income from quidco, how much from Ste learning to drive and getting a better job, how much from grocery cut backs, Ste starving at lunch time (his cut backs were big in that area) etc...

    Plus you haven't added in that you did manage to buy a new freezer, books/toys for the kids, fridge, sofas, telly, baby, games console(s) without racking up further debt... and raised £500+ for charity...
    God I think it would just be impossible to work out. The £22 from quidco that is on it's way is the first payment from them though..
    Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

    Yeah but it's an interesting number question and you do like your spredsheets and you're running out of debts to obsess about.... what's going to feed your excel habit now, or are you going to get bored and make Ste go out with his friend Vanquis to give you something to count :rotfl:Interesting to see how the little things balance with the big things like changing job...
    both important... I'd like to see the Immoral_angeluk first family holiday challenge at some point...

    They can borrow a projector and project pictures of people's bottoms onto their house, like Ministry of Sound did on the Houses of Parliment :cool: Turn their house into a giant Martin :rolleyes:
