Well done JD. That sounds really quick to pay your dad back.

Hope the kitchen fit goes smoothly with no hitches.

Thanks V:)

Well, up really early this morning! Guess I must be excited about the new kitchen arriving! lol

Just logged on to IB and have paid £3 to my overdraft and £2 to savings and £5 to creditcard. I really feel like I am getting somewhere at last!

Had another look at budget last night and it really does seem possible that I can pay my dad back at the end of november! I am really happy about that as I hate owing my parents!

Have just checked my email and my airmiles have been credited to my account.....

I have about 1200 now:) I will need a total of about 10000 for our holiday in 2011. I am planning on taking my kids to disneyland paris for 3 days but will be going for ds3 10th birthday:) He is mad about disney!!! I have about 9 more quarters to save enough points... I have a clubcard plus so I make sure most food and petrol goes through using cc+. I have 4270 points already this quarter.....thats about another 1020 airmiles to add to the pot:D

Jamie is this clubcard points? Only because on the news last night I saw about a couple that raised points/airmiles by taking down cans and plasic bottles to tesco's and geting a point per 4 items. Just a thought

Hi PAP:wave:

Yes I did know about this, we have a recycling points unit thing not far from here so I do take the recycling up every so often to gain extra points:) Great isnt it:D

Money is very tight for the next few weeks as I really want to pay my dad of as soon as possible!!!

Have made my 'payment a day' already this morning:) £2 off credit card:D The balance is really coming down now:)

I hope to have the cc and overdraft paid off by early next year which will make me debt free again:D Oh what a wonderful feeling!!! It would feel much nicer to go into 2009 debt free but I dont think that will happen....

Kitchen units started going in yesterday and the work surfaces are down too:) Washing machine and sink going in this morning, man doing the kitchen has kindly said that I can put a wash on first thing if I need to, which I really do

Am going to try and have a NSD today. Dont really need anything and havent got any money anyway lol

Off to browse now before the kiddies get up!

JAMIEDODGER

Paid £2 off my overdraft this morning:)

kitchen is almost finished bar the tiling and flooring so I have been moving a few things back into the cupboards:) They have done a lovely job and have made minimal mess too!

really need to kick on this week and get the rest of the birthday presents sorted. I think I only have 3 left to buy and that will be this years birthdays sorted:)

will be going to tesco again this morning as its only a couple of mins away from the post office i have to go to everyday. i am finding it easier at the moment to go every day or so and only buy what I need. b**gers about the NSD's a bit but you cant have it all your own way:D

Better get on with sorting out the lunchboxes....

sawpped up some more clubcard vouchers for airmiles yesterday:) and freecycled a couple of things i didnt want anymore, they will be collected at the weekend! i feel like i can more in my house again:D

JAMIEDODGER

Have spent most of the weekend freecycling so much stuff! I thought I would put things into piles: freecycling/ebaying/carbooting/charityshop/tip I have found I havent got an awful lot to go to the tip!

The house is looking slightly emptier so I have a long way to go and ive only been concentrating on the kitchen stuff so far...

Made my payment a day yesterday and today £2 to the overdraft both days. Things are looking good:)

Had a lovely time at my nephews birthday party yesterday. DD went as tinkerbell and DS3 went as a teenage mutant ninja turtle. Kids had plenty to eat and my sister gave us loads of birthday cake to take home.

Will be trying to freecycle a load of stuff again today.....I have lots of people coming to collect stuff this afternoon.

Got a big pile of washing to do today as will be without washing machine for 2 days again while they lay the kitchen floor....its going to look so lovely though so I cant complain!

Airmiles have been credited to my account over 4000 now:) Have received my bowling and pizza hut vouchers too, that should keep the kids happy:)

JAMIEDODGER

kitchen was screeded yesterday. flooring is being laid this morning, then my washing machine and cooker will go back in and the kitchen door put back on and then its all finished bar the painting:D

most of the stuff i freecycled has now been collected, am working on another pile to list this coming weekend.

have paid another £4 to savings today and £5 to credit card!

Just noticed Quidco paid me 12p this month lol
