immoral_angeluk

Well we've done some research on ebay..... and.....

£400ish for the ps3 as it's the one they don't make anymore (60gb one)
£10 ish for singstar
£35 for planet earth on bluray
£10ish for casino royale on bluray
£150 for his ibanez guitar

+ £100 for the pc...

= £695 already :eek: He said he may even donate any extra towards debt too... :rotfl:

Good luck Ste, he has certainly changed since your first debtbusting steps!! :money: If he sells the PS3 won't he just want one again as soon as he gets the drums though?:o

Great news about your Piggy points, I think I registered but never quite got the hang of them, I have stuck with Quidco though, LOVE Quidco

to be fair we only really use it as a bluray player, he hardly ever plays games on it at all... we always end up going back to the 360 as it's more rewarding with the achievements and things.. and I use the music player all the time as it's much simpler to use..
He may want one again in the future.. but I'd just have to beat him over the head with something hard...

Didn't he get the PS3 free with a phone??? Either way nice to see he's got the money (virtually at least) for the drum kit. How is Ash getting on with her camera -no photos recently! Great news about London - will definately be watching on 23rd!

One of the things I love about your thread Sar ( and you !) is that you are always looking for new challenges - be it debt related or personal. You are soooo inspirational. :A XX

I've been playing with some figures..... in order for me to be able to volunteer with the CAB I would need to be able to do at least 2 3 hour sessions a week mon to fri which would me finding childcare...
the only way we would be able to afford this is by me getting a 16 hour a week job so we get tax credits help....
I've been looking at weekend jobs and playing around with entitled to.. Have already called about one job which Ste's going to pick up an application form for me as it's in the same town he works in... but based on if I got that job (baring in mind extra petrol etc)
Based on if I got that job...

ste wages 940.41
cb 120.8
tc £448
sar wages £364
total £1,874

lunches £40.00
bills £795.32
nursery £239.53
food £250.00
petrol £70.00
total £1,394.85

leftover £478.76 after food petrol etc

with the girls going to nursery for 2 half sessions a week while I did CAB... (tax credits would be around £112 a week)

Seems like a good plan to me!! Just got to get a weekend job now Obviously I'll have my OU studies to bare in mind as well as extra CAB training work (if I got accepted), and fitting in quality time with Ste in the evenings... AND band practices.... :rotfl:
