    hey this is kinda off subject but it is still kinda on the subject lol coz it all helps towards me saving in my sealed tin again, as you can see my cc debt is a lil big infact its £300 more than what my sig says but good news ive jus done the virgin cc balance transfer also with barclays at £1000 (bcoz the news bout virgin 1 came later) so ive split my cc debt onto 2 0% cards for jus over a year so i wont b charged £50 per month interest anymore yay!!!!! so nw everythin i throw at cc's actually comes off my total :T ,sad im really excited about this lol i got £22 from rpoints which went straight into my savings,i got an american express cc so i get cash back (only using this like my debit card)!!!!!! which will b paid off in full each month (like how i used to be) :A im through with debt i want good savings like i had this time last year! (that wud b a goal then)...:rolleyes:

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Evening molly,
    The glass of vino went down very nicely last night, back in here early in the morning, grabbing another 4 hours overtime, so more to be payed off the debt, if I've got my calcs right I should be able to clear one of the outstanding debts, £228 which is the highest interest rate of nearly 28%, this will hopefully be next Friday. Whaoo!!!
    Also a very good evening to all the sealed pot challengers, hope you're all well and saving like mad.

  • Hi Everyone


    I have myself another sealed pot, its a huge coffee jar sellotaped up so I can't dip into it, but it had to be glass so I could see what I had in it, why? because its my no smoking jar and it has £30 in it because I have managed with a patch and the odd puff on someone elses ciggie (i know i know) to not buy ciggies for a week now:j :j

    So thought as i have managed it for a week I would tip toe in and mention it lol ;)

    My holiday is in 7.5 weeks and by cutting out the fags I would have paid half the holiday without thinking about it by the time I'm sunning myself on the beach :T My lunch log challenge is paying for the other half!:T

    well done :T way to go :T .It's always good to see your money growing especially when you've given up something that has been part of your life for so long. an having something to aim for like the holiday is what this challenge is all about:)
