Bleachbird's twitterings!

Hi everyone,

I have lurked here for ages and only decided to become a member today!
Feels like I have joined an exclusive club in a way.......
I have approx £34000 debt to pay off. And have had a very successful last month with quidco at £200, ebay at £200 and have AQA'd £100.
I feel like I am in control at the moment and have decided to join today to keep me in control!!
Not going to put a SOA up yet as have trimmed lots of wastage off already and once I have paid off my overdraft, I will start chipping away at the massive sum owed by about £1000- 1200 a month.
Just wanted to blackmail myself further into doing it by posting! and making it public!!!

And I am a dedicated daily clicker too!

I love everyone's debt free diarys and you have given me inspiration to get this sorrted. I need to get out of this to move house and have another baby!!

Anyway, enough gibberish

    Welcome to the forum!

    But before you do the above, surely your priority is to clear the majority if not all of the debt as it is a hell of a lot!
  • Hi Butlers1982,

    Yes, that is the whole point of joining up here!
    Thanks for the reminder that I owe alot!
  • Hi bleachbird - it's certainly a lovely club, but not exclusive (afterall they let me in!)

    Keep up the good work and keep posting

    Good luck Bleachbird, you'll get there! Why not join one of the challenge's to keep you motivated?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
  • Thanks unixgirluk,

    I will have a good look around now at these challenges. Still feels a bit scary posting!

  • Morning all,

    Feeling a little delicate after a few glasses of red last night to celebrate joining the gang on here!
    I have a nice new £10 note in my purse and am going to try and not take any money out till Saturday. Wish me luck!

  • Morning!

  • Thanks gtd. I suppose it helps having lots of food in and a full tank of petrol!
    Logging onto AQA now to see what is happening. Am officially working from home today so should be able to put a few hours in. And then I can watch LFC win tonight in peace!
