    i won't be paying extra if i had't joined this thread i was just spending any extra money and not watching my money at all!!! i love it, without this thread i wouldn't have though of selling the wii and laptop! they would have just stayed in the cupboards gathering dust until they were worthless!!

    That's good then isn't it. I must admit I tended to not be so careful as I am now. Iget excited about saving now whereas before I was excited about spending-gosh do I sound really weird now???

    prob will be ok jen- I expect its a ebay Newbie who only joined coz kids are desperate for tickets!when does the auction end?
    no never heard of leisure time let us know what happens!
    I've never been this determined to pay off my debt and I feel even more motivated coz I started the thread so I would look even worse if I failed my own challenge!
