    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Fox You need one of those kitchen pad and pen type affairs. It's joined on then :) or you could get really eccentric and start wearing a pen around your neck at all times like some insane librarian. I hear it's a strong look for 2017.

    Good Morning Festive people

    Had to pop out on an errand today and the roads were so quiet. I think South London has decamped already....if any of you are affected by the additions of Hunter Welly wearing Sidney and Jocasta owning grockles over the next two weeks I apologise in advance ;)

    Final payment to the CC of 2016 today. And the final total? £760 to pay off in 2017 or 72% repaid in 2016. £1940 of sheer blood sweat and tears. I'm going to salute myself right now. And who's up for a high five? Don't leave me hanging????

  • Hi five Bob! That's amazing - look how much you have achieved this year. All that debt paid whilst opening a new business.

    Thanks so much Apple Huggle & Cat hibernation sounds very appealing :)

    Have just signed myself up for the PAYDBX 17 challenge & hope if I can clear 75% of my original debt in 12 months I ought to do the remainder in a lot less.

    Roadkill for today, 24p.
