    We will all be very jealous you have started saving, but of course you will still be welcome. No boasting about how much you are saving though, or we might just have to have a group meeting to decide to boot you out or not :rotfl:

    Hang on amy -to stop working you have to actually have started in the first place ;-) heh heh
    i think it will be good to have someone that has paid off their debt as a target for us (i mean something to aim for not someone to aim at!!!!)

    I am a total plank!!! just realised that as i get paid at the end of the month i actually have 7 paydays before the end of the year so that is (without counting any cheques coming) £2549 divided by 7 = £364 , i already pay £300 a month so that is £64 a month extra to find to do it by the end of the year . I already have £300 to come from quidco, that £78 cheque, 24 from mobile exchange and 25 for mini mags and 40 from mbm =467 divided by 7 = £66 !!!!! assuming i get all the cashback etc i have already got enough earned to do it by dec (as long as everything stays ok with job etc) oh my god i cant believe i havent worked that out before doh!!!

    Well i have a list of things to do tomorrow and so i will be in early to beat the surveyors (so i can have some quiet time!).

    If im lucky i may get a bonus the end of this year... not sure how their payrises/bonus schemes (if there is one) work... £2.5K pay rise would do nicely! :rotfl:

    still need to find the extra money for xmas presents as decembers money is now debt payments. Hopefully will sell some more jewellery to get that sorted. Not counting my chickens though as some of quidco might not pay up etc. Still i feel a lot more hopeful now than i did ten mins ago!
    Looks like its a positive day for us today!
