Wow Jacks that's fantastic!!!! When you look back, can you really believe how much you have achieved? You are an inspiration. I really hope you do it. :T

Good luck

Hey sweetie :hello:

It'll be fantastic if we do it - but that's a pretty big "if".

Thanks ever so much for the encouragement. :A

Looking at your sig I see that your numbers are going down steadily as well.

:eek: I've got the uncontrollable urge to eBay everything we own and make it happen right now!

I never really allowed myself to think about how it would feel whe we finally got there to debt free-edness but I think I'm feeling a little bit of it now - even with a whole year to go.

Cheers sweetie!

That is awesome!!! Imagine how much you will have in the bank account in another 2 years if you keep going at that rate??

Ok, this is now officially you new diary, by order of me

I do feel funny talking figures, as I said on another thread yesterday we do have a really good income (when we actually get paid) and I'd hate to think anyone thought I was bragging. But I'm certainly happy to go head to head, I need someone to keep me on track.

Duly ordered!

Does anyone else keep losing posts????

If you don't want to blab your numbers honey, we could work in %'s or something. We'll work it out!

I'd better subscribe to this thread then 'eh?

and then go for a pee cos I'm desperate now!

Well 10 hours at minimum wage (5.52) would work out about £239 a month... Bare in mind the tax though if you're working 2 jobs..

Sorry sweetie.

i swear I've replied to this twice already!

£239 is pretty close but you're right, I'll be paying basic rate tax on it. Maybe my hourly rate will be a bit above the minimum, or maybe I'll have to do 3 shifts a week?

we'll have to see.

My son used to earn £7 an hour washing up in a pub restaurant and at this point I'd even consider doing that. (even though I do quite enough of it at home!)

Cheers sweetie pie.

How's your P/T job working out?

Ok, we'll do % and then this time next year I'll quote the actual figures achieved. My spreadsheet is all there ready with the predicted figures and the spaces for actual figures so % will be easy. It's going to be a rough year, there'll be no (because I want it) clothes, holidays or other crap spending. 12 months of proper budgeting. It all kicks off Dec 1st for me.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: HOW MUCH???? That is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know honeybun,

As Toto says, imagine if we'd saved all that money instead?:o

It averages out about £3500 a month which is not bad considering we only take home £2600 a month!

We've sold our shiny new (ish) cars, had a powergen windfall, hubby got a bonus, we got paid back a lump sum unexpectedly, and now our eldest contributes £200 a month as well so all that helps to boost it up a bit.

It's still pretty good I reckon though.

I am a very proud DFW

OOh sweetie, I'm all scared now :eek:

I'm the queen of channelling Billie Piper "because we want to, because we want to!" (But not this year huh?)

I've just rung up about a job singing in an italian restaurant at the weekends and I've got an audition booked!

If I can I'd rather be out front wearing a spangly dress and singing "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie" than out back washing up .
So we shall see! :eek:

Now I'm off to feed the cat some value prawns to celebrate, and then list on ebay until my fingers fall off!
