    Nearly, did most of them using pigsback and amazon vouchers, have only brought 2 present where i had to spend money so far! Need to get my Dad and my Nan something and my OH a few lil bits, also his younger brother and our nephews birthday pressies as his birthday is 27th (already got his xmas pressie from boots using vouchers!) and thats it :)

    Dunno how i would have coped this christmas without MSE! Brilliant having a virtually free christmas ;)

    Well chuffed right now, me and OH just been to Bingo where i won £120 :j

    Got 2 lines and won £20 then got the full house about 30 seconds later and won another £100!

    Been going for a few months with my mates and been playing online (where i have managed to win £2000 in last few months as won two big jackpots) but have never won at the bingo hall until tonight so my OH must be lucky! :D

    Now deciding what to do with the money, add to savings fund or pay off credit card!

    Bingo was only a quid tonight too so 120% profit :beer:

    Right unfortunately the £120 has ended up going on christmas presents! :o

    Got my OH lost series 3 as my nan and dad have gone half on series 2 and that was nearly £45, brought myself a new top for work and a top for my works xmas party that was £35 for both.

    Then today i was going to just spend today at home have a NSD but my best mate called me and asked if i wanted to go town with her before seeing a house she might buy so said yes.

    Got £20 cash out in town and brought my secret santa present for work £7.50, £2.50 over budget but only thing i have seen that i thought they might like and i had ended up getting the one person i dont like!!! :rolleyes:

    Brought 7 christmas cards for £4.50 (family ones) a sandwich and a coke in the pub and have just put £3 into my sealed put in change :)

    Then her estate agent called saying he couldn't meet her at the house so we went to the garden centre instead to look for more pressies for her family and i ended up spending £26! Got my Dad a bird feeder and a bird house for Christmas as he loves having birds in the garden and went to the pet corner where i saw these adorable cat bowls, had 1 in pink and 1 in blue and as i have a boy and a girl cat i couldn't resist and got both but where £5.99 each :o also got them some treats.

    So today turned into a very expensive day!!! :rotfl:

    Tonight might be expensive too if Same Difference win X Factor as my TV is gonna get thrown out the window :p

  • Ooo!

    Just had a thought... you and I have about the same amount of debt... would you be up for a challenge?
    How about pay off £1,000.00 by 29th Feb 2008?

    What do you think? we can tackle this amount in any way you like... overtime / bugeting / freeclicks etc... I'd love to have someone motivate me!
