    Hi All, just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Will be back shortly and update totals.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    another £64 from amazon for me to add today. im really appy with how well we did of amazon. got some more stuff still listed but most has gone now. got loads of stuff to list on ebay but think maybe i should get the move done first. just waiting for our disturbance allowance to go into the bank.
    back to comping in 2017, fingers crossed :beer:
  • It's the end of the month for me and payday tomorrow, so I'll update tomorrow.
    Well, it's 6 months to go until Xmas and I've still got to pay off £20,000 (ish).:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Where's the time gone?!!! Okay, so I'm not quite faff-free, but I am much, much better (although I have just confessed on the Make £10 a day challenge to managing to spend the extra money I've actually received in without really noticing where it's gone:o .)
    Think I might splash out on a Euromillions ticket tomorrow!
    Well done everyone.

    Thanks ....I know the feeling about slowness at the moment.The taxi has been wrote off and we had no earnings for a number of days so that has set us back now and we have that whole mess to sort out.....I was planning to pay halifax off about the 10th but am pretty sure that won't be happening now.Have a good day x

    Hi all,
    Just popped in to update totals. The good news is that total debt is now sub 10K. The bad news is that I have paid £300 less of my debts this month than had planned due to DD graduation in a few weeks time - I have prepaid the cost of the photos, cap and gown, a meal and bought some decent clothes to for us all to wear - it all adds up :mad:
    Anyway I am sure we will have a lovely day and I am so proud that she has finished her degree - it was touch and go for a while. Now she just needs to find a job. :rolleyes:
