IA's 'Does my bum look big in this Debt?' Diary

We were supposed to have fruit but on the day they gave us sponge instead which is why it sank when we tried to us the pillars... oh well. Tasted nice though.

Woohoo... how kind of the mystery person to send those vouchers.... wasn't me, I don't have your address!

Re turning photos into b&w, I don't have photoshop... is there any other way? I'm trying to be artistic and would like some photos of DD in b&w. Some of her nursery photos were b&w and they look cool.

Have tried photobox, hoping I could do it that way, but no way of doing it.

I'm hopeless with this sort of thing!

None as far as I know - it was wiped clean not so long ago as went wrong!

Think I may have a disc somewhere for a photo program but no idea which one...!

I've got Paintshop Pro at work & can do that sort of thing (and very weird some of them are too!)

Have been doing some sums.. Ste wants a PS3. Obviously this throws up a dilemma as Ste wants it NOW and the only way we could do that is to put it on the Citi card which is a big no no... So ideally we could prioritise debts and then save up.
Debt wise it's hard to say how long it would take because of us ebaying etc... If we just saved the minimum we could which would be £12 out of tc a week plus the child benefit we could save..
aug 180.80
sept 168.80
oct 180.80
nov 168.80
dec 168.80
= £868

but that doesn't take into account any extra we can save or if we need to use savings for car tax, service, christmas etc BUT also doesn't take into account extra left over from your wages after the bills. so in theory if we manage to save the same as last payday..

= £452.10
+ £868
= £1320.10

Egg is currently £464.75 and barclaycard is £858(ish) so taking into account the payments we'll be paying normally we could be completely debt free by end of december....THEN we could buy you a PS3 on the egg card which'll be 0% for 3 months and spread the cost over 3 months while paying no interest.......

BUT it means Ste'll have to wait til the new year at the latest. Obviously if we can pay the debt off quicker with ebay etc then he wouldn't have to wait that long..... but he'd still have to wait which doesn't make for a happy Ste. lol

Men eh?

It could be his reward for getting all your debts paid for.

Make sure you treat yourself though to.

I agree with James&Shell hun. You are soooo close now, and he will appreciate it all the more if he has to wait a bit longer for it (that's what I tell my OH anyway ) xx

immoral_angeluk

He'll just have to wait and see what santa brings him in his stocking... :rotfl:
