tattycath

I've just ordered some clothes for other DD (and a pr of jeans for me) from littlewoods-through pigsback (for my 5points per £1 spent) and just before I submitted my order I checked on mse for discount codes...and I found a 20% discount code-I'm such a happy bunny, saved myself nearly £70 if you include the reduced stuff I got as well as the discount-not including the pigsback points I will earn!!!

Hi there, can I join the challenge?

I am in strange position of trying to pay off joint debt but also saving at the same time. My OH and I pay 75% of salary into joint account and the saving comes out of my own 25% so I don't feel like I should pay off the joint debt with my own savings. I am hoping for us to be debt free by November and then save for a holiday for this year (we are living over here for the main purpose of travel, which is where all the debt has come from, but I have made a rule that we are not travelling anywhere unless we can pay with savings, not CC).

OH is very passive with the money saving thing and is only happy to join in if it doesn't affect his lifestyle. He changed his mobile contract and halved his bill but even though we have absolutely no money left this month he is currently out at a pub drinking while I am at home not spending any money!

Hope you don't mind me butting in, it's great to have a thread for people with only a small amount of debt compared to a lot of other people on the site!

Blimey what an eventful evening!!

Just settling down and my sister called me at 8pm. One of her Queens (female cats) has just had kittens. My sister has just started breeding bengals (the cats I have). She had one litter born 5 weeks ago (all cuties) but this litter were a bit akward so i got called on midwife duties!

I cut the cord on Poppy's third one, and when i left she had had 4 bubbas with 1 more on the way.

Very cute.
