madmoneys xmas pesky saving challenge

i think if people are havin a bad year they are more likely to tell u about it. if you get me rayday? like if youre having a good year u dont normally say owt about it do you i spose.
dunno if this is any help to you, but this yr has gone mega quick for me and dh so far, so at least you can look at it like this-at least the year is nearly over. dunno if that is any help at all chic??

by the way, well done on you £22.46! after ur fees that has gotta still b a nice chunk for you from your pesky debt total?

I hope your theory is true about a bad year I want everyone to be happy maybe I should have been a free love hippy in the 60's lol
Hopefully sunday auctions end so fingers crossed it will be gone thing is I have the bug to raise money now caus I have seen a new suite on Argos site I know they are not brill quality but at least its cleaner than what I have now!0 -
dont be daft ours is from argos n its lovely. its navy leather really nice n great if u like leather but have kids! lol.
im sure everything will work out in the end for the people u know cos it always does in the end. worse things can happen as they say. end of the day, were all on here cos were stuck financially and came on for support at some stage. but does it really matter in the long run, really? u know like sometimes i think im bein selfish cos i think do these small things really matter in the big scheme of things. ??
so long as weve got our familes and were happy does it matter really?
so thinks of the positives instead of the negs, easy said then done i know!

Nog you are a gem every time you talk to me my auctions go up £28.69 now you not after a cut are you
Since financial problems I really embrace family and friends now people are what is important not what you have in life. Everyone on here without knowing most the time are complete gems, I only hope I give as much as I take from the site.
Thanks again0 -

I too have been sat here wondering how to boost my income, but I have tried loads of things and most turn out to be rubbish and not worth the effort, for e.g. delivering yellow pages - i had to stack hundreds of them in my car, it was so full the car was practically scraping the floor, then i had to store them in my house for days and deliver them in batches in the pouring rain. It took about 10 hours in total (and a little help from my friends), and I got a measly £40 for my efforts!!!! Never again!!!!
