    My goodness, who was posting all that filth last night?! :eek: :rotfl:

    Been working (quite) hard here, few things I have to make sure are done before I go off. Checked bank account this morning and I have £450 in, and get paid tomorrow, which looks fantastic, but is just the holiday savings, and will be mostly gone by this time next week :eek: Must remember to post rent cheque to my landlady before I go...
    Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012.

    One more sleep! :)

    A few money totals for July, seeing as I will be away when we get into August...

    Groceries (food and toiletries, not needed any cleaning stuff) since 1st July - £30.82.
    Extra money raised from surveys, eBay etc since 23rd June (do this payday to payday) - £126.42
    Overall 'raise debt min payments from extra stuff for ten months' challenge - £1191.70 since 23rd January. Four months and £458.30 to go, should be do-able and could really do with making more than that!

    Will no doubt be doing lots of thinking while I'm away.. do I want to keep looking for other jobs or make the best of this one, maybe ask about some training? Do I want to join the gym or not? Will I ever get round to doing all the things I've been planning to do (walking group, salsa, book club etc)? Should I design a special uniform and pom poms for the nagging squad....? :rotfl:

    Well done on debt busting totals..you are getting there, it is amazing how it all adds up.:T
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:
