  • Chandelier - Thanks! Good on you for exploring on your own, I would have done it at that age too but its something I would worry about now - we get so much more wary when we are a bit older.

    Exactly Dolly.

    I'm much more cautious and wary these days. When I was 16 I didn't have a care in the world. Fast forward to now it's totally different.

  • Starting Debt Total
    £15,000

    Current Debt
    £6926.46

    So with 5 more months of payments left in 2017 I have calculated that I need to pay £1385ish per month in order to clear this debt :(

    Not sure I am going to manage it.

    If I can keep the grocery spends under control & not spend too much on the SBCC then I should definitely be able to get very very close to it.

    If I can make it to December 2017 & only have debt of hundreds of pounds rather than thousands of pounds I will still be super happy with that.

  • Jeez man, went for a pub lunch with the team earlier & I swear I was actually sleeping with my eyes open at my desk.

  • It's time for me to start getting organised for Santa Claus coming :xmastree:

    This week I am going to;

    - Make a Christmas list for all gifts to be purchased
    - Sort out the present cupboard to see what I already have in
    - Put extra focus into getting some more Paypal & Amazon credit
