    Evening stunty? A burning building???? tell me more..........

    Meh, nothing to tell really. A local derelict building thats a favourite for some of our local lovelies was set alight, we were told there were people in it so i burst the door open and ran in, shouted to see if anyone was there (there wasnt) and promptly ran out again! :rotfl:

  • Hi all,

    Im a complete newbie and although ive been on a few times to look at specific things this post really made me think.

    Im going to start this asap, havent got a tin at the mo but will be making the most of my tupperware until the weekend.

    Hubby and i are working really hard to pay things off and although its going ok a bit of extra cash never goes amis, especially when that can be used to take a lump off the credit card.

    Hope you dont mind me jumping on the band wagon, and thanks

  • Hallo pot stuffers. Have got lots of pennies today as I went into town for the day. I let my friends pay for wine - as I'm currently unemployed. LOL And then went to a free party at Madame Tussauds - no atmosphere, but free. Keep up the good work! :T

    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?

    The loan will be paid off by Nov if i don't pay it off early but me and OH are desperate to buy a house and i am pretty keen to have a baby in next few years so just want to get a move on!

    I need to log onto MSN and speak to Mumzy but just so busy with one thing or another! Its either money making or losing weight right now! :rolleyes:
