    Laura why not get your hair done at your local college? It's saved me a fortune. Highlights are about 7 pounds.
    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

    Where is it you're off to in the US? I was there a few weeks ago on a business trip. The food is pretty cheap and massive portions. I made the mistake of buying an ice cream cone (about 1.99) and the cone was about 4 times the size of the large ones here and there was about a litre of ice cream. I couldn't finish it all but couldn't believe how little I spent on food over there.

    hey everyone!

    I'm of to florida, hopefully its going to be baking! I know about the food portions, been two years ago can't wait for it. Been holding off buying any make-up for the past 12 months so I can buy it while i'm over there, thats really cheap too!

    quick debt update.

    Paid off £9.15 this morning.

    New totals are

    Loan £11123.11
    forma £1015.86
    Overdraft £1500

    New total £13638.97.


    As i've said since i've got more holiday money than I thought I did hopefully will be able to squeeze in another payment tomorrow!

    Thanks for your support everyone!

    Still in debt but happy :cool:

    Forma £994.06
    Overdraft £1500

    so my new total is £13617.17

    Chuffed that I got that forma debt below £1000. And figures will look really good when I get back when the next loan payment goes out.
