Thanks Andan what a lovely thing to say...I need to update tomorrow as my loan is due out...I know what you mean about doing things that pay out later...this month has been quite hard but we will get there..so lets keep going..0

I know I've only got a week left to be part of this challenge, but I still will pop back & see how my buddies are doing:D
Also I'm not really out of the woods completely as my Husbands wages lower in July as back to his old job after a secondment, although I'm earning a little bit too now:D we will be tight.
Worst thing is our mortgage low rate runs out in September, so I know that will go up quite a bit, at least we won't have to struggle with that & debt on top.:o
So as you can see, I will still be using this site for tips & money saving/making advice, inspiration etc & will be saving like mad until July to get a bit of money behind us for a rainy day.
So I'm afraid you'll never get rid of me:rotfl:Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

Well done Laura.
I'm having a bit of an off day. Not feeling great and feeling very very down. I've seen wedding dress I want on ebay for 50 quid. Not sure whether I should go for it. I know it'll save me a lot of money but think where my head is at at the moment is skewing things a lot.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 J0 -

Stupid I know but amazing how the little things affect you.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.
