moneymabels debt free by 2009 challenge

moneymabel

No problem :-)

yep spose the cats and dog might fetch a few quid! just bumped up the post on the mini website to see if anyones interested, good idea, might try local paper or perhaps listing a few at a time on ebay-seen some others on there tho and dont seem to be selling.
My dvds from blockbusters free trial (quidco) arrived today but not tracked yet, it does say allow 7 days tho so fingers crossed.
My new challenge is to start saving money instead of just trying to earn it. After bills/debts etc i am left with £80 per month for toiletries,clothes, any extra petrol ,food ,emergencies etc, i am going to try and save as much of this as possible from now on, might be difficult, most of it last month went on petrol, i rarely buy clothes so thats not a problem unless something falls to bits :-)

moneymabel

ooh- and could use money i save to buy xmas presents...cunning plan!

**Amy**

Now that is a good plan.

I have nearly halved my weekly budget this month due to saving for my mums bday pressie (£40) and some bank charges (:rolleyes: :mad: ) of £50. But if i can live on this amount i might join you to saving £90 a month and having it as an emergency fund.

moneymabel

Cool! will see how i go this month then, just seen a lovely babys first xmas winnie the pooh bear that i might get for my mates baby, seller hasnt stated postage amount tho so have had to email them.

moneymabel

yeah done it 3 days ago but not tracked yet, they do say can take 7 days so not to worried yet, dvds turned up today as well!!

jenjade

ok i will be patient then. £16 is good was less last time i looked at it. i have done movie stream to but cancel as soon as you get the first lot of dvds with them. i am hopinh une will be a big quidco payout.
has any of you transactions or clicks changed to validated on money madness although i have £47.00 none has cleared so i can't take any out!

moneymabel

No, nothing validated on mbm yet. have got about £130 to come from quidco next time.
