Look at it this way - you've paid it off in one lump but if you divided that it works out at £26.66/month - so that's only a small dent into your month even though you've done it all in one hit!
Martin would be proud! :money:

Sending hugs Fmess! I think we're all feeling a bit low at the moment - maybe it's the post-payday-slump or something! Massive congrats to you at your 35% though! I cannot wait to be there - just by posting you inspire people like me to keep going - we will make it! :j

Holy smokes! Good saving!
I know someone whose renewal came up at an extra £200 - he rang them to see if they could reduce it, no go, he left them, then did the comparisons and got the SAME COMPANY with a lower price then he'd been paying initially so re-joined as a new customer. It is bonkers! :rotfl:

Chin up, people!
Roll with the punches and keep your eyes on the prize.
Just had to get some scuba kit which I hadn't budgeted for - unfortunately I can't carry on with my training unless I get it. Felt the familiar short-term high, followed by the even more familiar post-purchase guilt. However, I think if I gave up my hobby at the moment, I'd wonder what the point of it all was!
Has anybody got any interesting guilty pleasures or hobbies which keep them amused?0 -
