Comments

  • Not much to report but thought I'd check in to keep myself focussed.

    £3.66 has become payable in TCB - have sent this to od.

    Approx £25 made on ebay so will be sending this to CC.

    SLC have taken my payment, so need to phone them and get the DD adjusted accordingly otherwise I'm going to end up over paying.

    Picked the rugs up yesterday and she's done a fab job! 4 rugs that I'd put on the scrap heap mended and serviceable for £27 - can't moan at that!

    Right best look lively! Have a good day x
  • Great news about the rugs :D That's one of the first things I'm going to do when I'm out of debt, new Weatherbeetas all round, as the boys' rugs are more patches and mended bits than rug these days!
  • Daily posts are a must SS :) nothing to report or not ;) you are so right, keeps you focussed.
    Debt - CCV £3792
    CCB £1383 (took a hit for a holiday)

    Wow! I wish my rugs could get repaired but usually they are in a heap ripped to shreds lol. I go through at least one new winter rug a year per horse. I do buy cheap ones and manage to get 5 for the price of an expensive one, so not too bad considering they would rip the expensive ones to pieces as well :)
    £250 shopping, diesel and any other spends
    December 16- January 15 £345.06/250.00 -£95.06
    £2 saving a day for christmas 2017 £0/£730
    Total debt paid off before 26 December 2017 £3142.31/14,053.85 = £10911.54 left to go
  • I'm fortunate in that he very rarely trashes them - this is the first one in over 5 years! But with him being an awkward size, I've only found one brand that suits him, unfortunately they're not cheap anymore!

    Just waiting on a couple of buyers to pay up- why bid in the dying seconds and then take 3 days to pay???? Does my head in!

    Just swagged another 5gc with a very generous survey on make up - been struggling the past few days with swag$ so good to get another one in the pot.

    Still not phoned SLC - will do it today if I get a minute yo myself in the office!
    Have a good day x
  • You put me to shame with swags - I keep thinking about it but don't seem to do it :) Well done you

    Me too. Now I'm doing the make up survey, got 43% through, and the slider won't work. AAAHHH!

    AFD March 2/15 NSD March 2/11 :T

    Other debts paid since 1/1/14: £17,005
  • Ok I'm creeping in for confession time......

    After being soooo proud of myself for getting the rug fixed, I stumbled across premier equine on fb, found they had a sale on and found they'd reduced the new version of the mended rug from £124.99 to £34.99 :o I confess I couldn't resist! So ebay money has gone towards paying for the rug rather than cc.

    Sneaks back out......
  • OMG, don't blame you! Just had a look myself, but nothing in 6'0 or 6'3 left!
  • Can't fall off - bargain!!!!
