    morning all going to try and go to the doctors today my nose has been running like a tap my thoat has been sore and dry and i keep getting coughing fits this has been happening since last thursday and i have had enough hasn;t got any better at all.

    i was thinking last night i should get £150 from paypal this month the £102 from quidco and the laptop money plus any car boot money.
    i think realistically i could pay off £160 out of my extra money this month that would keep some back for august.
    my debt is £585 less payment £60 less £160 extra = my debt would be down to £365 but i don;t think i would pay any extra in august i am going to have a break from debt busting and enjoy the holidays with dd!
    sound like a plan
    so august i would pay £80 payments leaving my debt at £285 and i would have a month to pay that!! uuummm ok less £80 normal payments for sept £205 so i would need £51.25 a week in sept? umm that sounds hard
    although i said debt free in ocotber doesn't have to be the start i guess

    Morning guys,

    Well i'm up bright and early, ready for the second day of driving.

    Jen, i'm aiming to be debt free in November, and by that i mean the end of November, or whenever pay day is in November lol.

    Morningf all. Jen, do you have any plans to do more car boots? If you do another carboot that should help alleviate the pressure of finding an extra £50+ a week for debt busting. Obviously, it would depend on time constraints etc and the feasibility of booting. My kids are older so it's not an issue for me. Though yesterday i was concerned about when we could fit them in because of obligations to drop off and pick up DDs for their access visits to their dad... But then It dawned on me that near where I live they have carboots on saturday and sunday-so realistically, we should be able to still do 1 or 2 a month - depending on weather.
    Well. I'm sorry you feel so bunged up Jen. If it's any consolation, I'm all snuffly today and bunged up.
    We were all up late this morning. Everyone else has rushed round and gone...I am still in my dressing gown drinking tea.
    Right, suppose I had better do something constructive-DDs concert tonight-she's in the choir-bless....

    Not till 10. I'm a bit bored waiting, plus no sun today so no sitting out in the garden topping up my tan lol.

    People like that should be reported, awful behaviour.
