Evening DFW-Ninjas,
Just a wee announcement from me today:
If my salary and Tax Credits are paid tomorrow as scheduled...we'll be debt-free.
Wooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I have to say that when I joined MSE in 2008 I didn't think I would actually ever see this challenge through. But this wee Forum has inspired me, especially Foxgloves, Ziggy, Shoot, La E, Candy, NotToo, Stitchy and gang, you know who you are. Thanks people. Thanks for listening to my whinging and inspiring me.
I'm still gonna hang around this thread and post as often as I can. I'm gonna feel like a Newbie all over again!
By way of celebration I shall change my default colour scheme from green to purple.
That's all for now. Good luck on your quests, Ninjas.
Congratulations Ally :beer:

Congratulations Ally :T and well done Ziggy on your win!
Do you mind me asking, Ziggy, roughly how many competitions per day would you say you enter? I went mad entering stuff for a couple of days and didn't win anything so I lost interest :rotfl:
Well, checking my bank account has given me a kick up the proverbial to list some stuff on ebay (though it'll be payday by the time it ends but I'm showing willing!)
I've had a look in my freezer and am now planning for 7 no spend days in a row (apart from spendies for DS.) I might post a thread with my inventory, not so much for ideas on what to do with it but to shame myself into cooking itMake £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.100 -
Hope people are having/have had a good day, and if not, hope your tomorrow improves
A quick one from me...
* Voted!
* Cheap hot lunch in work canteen
* Free bingo at Gala (every Thursday the "main event" is free in the evening where we go) - no wins though, boo!
* Made my lunch for tomorrow
* Did my income / expense sheet and checked my bank statement
* Did some washing and hung up to dry
* Printed off my windfall of clubcard vouchers I found out I had yesterday, ready to spend on food at the weekend
* Due to come in £5 under the very tight budget I set myself for this week provided I don't blow it tomorrow :j0 -
