Well despite the 'extra' you had to spend, 2k is some going remember that so imagine what position you will be in by the end of the year. You may not be debt free by then but it will be a MUCH smaller and manageable debt by then if you keep going at this rate.

Boo to the BF tell him if he wants to play the no respect game not to expect you to respect him either and what kind of relationship would he have then, is that how he wants it?

I cannot wait! I am really looking forward to the summer with not need ing so much childcare and then the bike gets paid off. The time I am looking forward to the most is just under 2 years away, when my bank loan gets paid off as that is £175 per month I pay to that. :eek: What makes it worse is that I only took out that loan to pay off my cards, then when I was going to work and my lazy ex was sat at home all day after walking out of his job and having me support him, he went on a major spending spree, things like a new PC, TV etc with my cards and then promised to transfer the money to his cards which of course never happened...if I hadn't been so scared of him I would have kicked him to the kerb but like I say he was a nasty piece of work and me and Emily are soooo better off without him. Less than 2 years and that will be gone and then imagine me paying £175 extra per month to the debts...I can't wait! I might have to do the snowball thing to get an indication of when I will actually be debt free!

The film is supposed to be funny, i must admit i laughed out loud at some of the one liners on Jonathon Ross last night. I hope you enjoy it.
Regarding the card front,everyone has months like that. You are tackling stuff head on now and in a while it won't seem like that as you will have built up a contingency fund.

I hope it is a funny one! Haven't been to the cinema in a while! NIce to actually get out for a bit! That sounds a bit sad...:o but it is true!

I have been known to foray out into the wide world every now and again. I usually go to a pub quizz, but lately have found this a bit more entertaining and i don't spend on booze.:beer:

Oh and while I'm on a rant about the BF does he contribute to food when he eats at your house alot?

He does once in a blue moon, but I notice he is coming over a lot less now I have said that I am on a diet and spend most of my time eating quorn as it is cheaper than meat! So imagine he is staying away as worried he won't get fed properly! I have also stopped with the booze as that is sooo expensive and I really want to treat my body better so he ain't gonna get any of that either!

I am gonna have to start getting him to pick up food if he wants to come over, he doesn't have any debts so is very lucky...he doesn't realise how lucky he is to actually have wages at payday...I long for that day!...

Yes I think you are going to have to start getting savvy and when he is coming over say can you pick up such and such on the way and I will cook for you and spoil you
