    Right......kicking time.......

    Some posts are being just a little bit negative..........mine included I'm sure:o

    As part of the faffing issues, we often faff because we think we can't do something. So, no more "I'm not sure I'll be able to do the full amount" or "I can't see how I will raise this much" and the like.

    Remember Aim for the moon and if you don't get that far, you will have reached the stars.

    WE CAN DO THIS ONE!!!!

  • Thanks Hypno, I needed that :rotfl:.

    As a serial faffer, (and I'm starting to recognise that a lot of my thoughts start with "I can't...... because.......") I need a regular kick up the backside.:rolleyes:

    Right, I'm off to do something productive.

  • Due to me being on a DMP with CCCS and the balances being at 0% I am paying my deby money into my post office account and will count it when it is there. When I have enough I plan on offering my creditors a % of the balance as a full and final settlement.

    Anyway I now have £116.27 to add so I have paid off so far £446.27

    Hey,

    Just wanted to say how well everyone is doing. I haven't posted much yet cos I haven't been able to pay anymore than my usual payments this month (last ones came off the day I joined). But I really think this thread will keep me motivated in 2008 and I look forward to posting again on payday ;)

    Keep up the good work all x

    Well I did a bit of consultancy (basically helping a friend out with their business). They've said when they get paid they'd like to give me a payment for my hard work! How cool is that? I wasn't expecting anything :D Not going to add it though till its in my hand. :o
    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
  • I've had a good weekend... even though I didn't go into work on Saturday morning (Im doing loads of overtime this week which will cover it) Ive not spent any money, sorted out my snowball and updated my sig and I got loads of stuff to put on ebay today!!!!
