My Shiny New Diary!!

  • Getting there, my abbey card offered me a 0% on bt's till April 09 so transferred the mint card onto the empty abbey card.

    Just waiting for everything to go through and then will close the mint card down! :j

    Now going to concentrate on the barclaycard but it wont let me make payments at the minute, but that is a long story(see my diary, its easier than repeating it all! :rotfl: )

    So Barclay card will be going down by another £150 this week apart from that, dont think there is alot else!

  • Yea the 0% was good news as the mint 0% ran out in a couple of months!

    £150 is the payment i try to make every week (although it doesnt always work out that way :rotfl: ) aswell as my monthly amounts.

    Im lucky that i still live at home with very low rent and not many other out goings, my car is my only real "expense" along with my hobbies but i can roughly make payments totaling £1k a month to my debt and still go out a couple of times a week :beer: but that is only down to a large payrise i received in April :D

    Hiya Amy :hello:

    I love having lazy Sundays watching DVD's and doing absolutely nothing.

    Briliant news about the phone on ebay, i hope they pay soon. Thats a great amount to chuck at your debts.

    I feel exactly the same as you, its horrible paying out so much of your wages a month on debt that you have nothing to show for it. Mine was mostly all on driving lessons and being a bit silly with money when i was 18. I'm now 23 and only last year did i have a LBM and realise i need to start paying back my debt. I feel better for it though, even though it is depressing working all month and having nothing at the end of it.

    :hello:

    Hayley - Lazy sundays are so great. I wish i was off today. Apparantly going to be the hottest day of the year. :rolleyes:

    Im not even really sure what i spent my money on. I know i bought a car for £400 and the cats cost me £500 (yes more than my car :rotfl: ). But the rest was just spent on not a lot from 18 to around 6 months ago. :rotfl: Im glad I have had my LBM but it really shocks me to think i was struggling on what i was earning a few years ago (which wasnt that much less than now)... god knows where it all went. :confused:

    The phone person still hasnt paid. Im going to wait until tonight, then send them an email, if they dont pay by the weekend im going to give a 2nd chance offer to someone. :rolleyes:

    Soooooooooooo dont want to be here today, rubbish nights sleep and Im going to be so busy today. :cool:

    :hello:

    Well good news, the guy has paid for the mobile. So i will be sending it tomorrow, special delivery. :j I have transferred that money from paypal into my bank account and will be paying onto my credit card as soon as I can. Looks like im well on my way to the target of £600 off the CC this month. :D

    Got a letter re: my pet insurance yesterday, it has gone up £3 per cat per month. :rolleyes: But its a good cover thing, and i used it a lot last year, so will deffo keep it up.

    Probably going to be very busy again today at work. :T
