Do you cousins expect prezzies? I haven't sent mine anything for years we only buy for immediate family. I suppose it depends on how close you are but your food and petrol come first.
Ev xx
I'm really close to my cousins so I have always bought them presents, they are more like my little sisters really.
I'm ok for petrol (filled my car up at the beginning of the month) and I have also told my boyfriend that if he wants me to drive to see him (30 mins up the motorway) then he will have to put some petrol in my car for me - well he did have the choice to move closer to me and chose not to!!
I'm also fed by my wonderful mum so I'm ok on the food department.
The minimum payment on my Capital One card came out today so that's £60 off that one at least. Will be wanting rid of that as Capital One are the biggest pains ever.

Well I got a call from Thomson directories today. They are delivering the books to me next week and I should make about £70- £100 so can pay that off my M&S card if it is still hanging about in 3 weeks when I get paid. probably will be tbh as I have no spare cash now until payday unfortunately. Everyone is doing amazingly well. I will be so thrilled if I clear these 3 debts for Christmas as I will be down to 2 cc's then and a car loan. I dont count mortgage and secured loan as I see them as essential. Might tackle them after the debt.
I am finding it totally hilarious the way my friends are reacting to al my moneysaving. Initially they found it all very amusing but now they are doing car boots, exra jobs etc etc and meal planning. :rotfl: .
We will all be loaded soon5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
Currently CC £23,674.36 /£14,895.41/£14315.42
Mortgage £28,214.65/ £26,254.71/ £25,746.43
By end 2020 I want CC at £ 19,000.00.
By end 2021 I want CC at £10,000.000 -
