  • I had a busy day in work. I ran into a burning building. And promptly ran straight back out again! lol. Between that and the little darlings breaking into 9 cars in my area, i've been too busy to pick up any change! Put a nice gold coin in my jar though.
    And how's everyone doing this evening???

  • Step away from the pot lilmissmup..... lol. Maybe you are putting too much pressure on yourself with the loan payments. Maybe make a month off?

    I am really keen to get it paid off by May and have £600 pounds saved but need to find another £900 by May to do this, just so desperate to be debt free! :rolleyes:

    I mentioned it earlier but £14 in pot this week in £2 coins as i psychically cannot spend them now, i feel ill if i do, i am turning into a freak! :eek: But that £14 could be in savings.....

    Next step is to buy a house after this debt so i know it will go towards my deposit in December but so tempting right now to smash it!

    Mumzy come back and get me on the straight and narrow, look at me 2 months in! :rotfl:

    Deep breaths......in and out, in and out..........We'd all like to pay off our debts earlier so know how you fell.What you need to think of is just how much of a difference is your change in the pot going to make? If you think you have £100 in there then my suggestion would be to open it and put it towards your debt.If you think there isn't then keep saving :)
    £600 saved already is fab :T .Way better than I could do.Maybe you could plan to pay off the debt by December instead of May to take some pressure off.Or is there a reason it has to be May?
    lost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013
