The long haul supporters thread...

Just when I think things are looking up...

Washing machine has broken, it was full of water and the door wouldn't open. Managed to pry the door open, water all over kithen floor and still the drum is half full - I have no idea what's wrong with it.

Then, putting hoover round while cleaning house ready for Christmas decs, and belt snapped. Replaced belt TWICE - it kept snapping, burnt my finger on the inside of the hoover while trying to rpeair it, now have to hoover whole house using nozzle attachment thing.

Looks like the money I've been saving for the last CC will end up going on a new hoover and washing machine :mad: :mad: :mad:

How come this stuff always happens??? It makes me want to cry.

Hi everyone (newbies included)

I haven't been here in a while. Have been working on having low spend/no spend days with limited success :rolleyes:.

Got paid yesterday so did the usual number-crunching which needed to take into account my Christmas treat (Christmas ball and related expenses) :eek:. Have finally done the BT from MBNA to my new Barclaycard Platinum, but wasn't able to do the full amount, so will have to stick the remaining amount onto my Egg card (assuming the 0% anniversary is still available :rolleyes:).

It's going to be a rough month, moneywise but I'm not worrying as come January I'll be back on the wagon for the long haul :T.

Let's celebrate the weekend in fine style:beer: (I've got leftovers and a beer, with Jacobs crackers if I get peckish later on).

aww phrophsy grrls - it always happens like that me thinks - you feel you're doing really well & something goes wrong & puts you back. Just remember what you were like before though - at least now it bothers you & you think about the money! Know what you mean poorbabe! Christmas just doesent do much for the budget does it eh!!

Hi all:hello:

just a quick update tomorrow i'm gonna pay off my first debt, my rent arrears, but me being a numpty :whistle: I didn't add that into my total debt:o
but its 1 debt less and an extra £26 per month to pay on the others.

Probably not the right DFW way to do it but gonna use that money to start paying family back i think it would make me feel better

By the middle of month I will be under £8000:T

hope everyone is doing ok
Don't you hate it when you go to work and they want you to work:eek: :rotfl:
