    Hi everyone,

    Opened my savings tin last night, was getting a bit full and i was getting a bit eager to see how much was in there. Anyhoo i had just over £80 in it so im paying my nana another £40 and putting the rest towards an overpayment on either my visa or catalogue. Not much but its a start.:D

    Abandoning the Goldfish card in favour of over paying the loan (£2500 approx), due to end in March 09 but need it gone by Nov 25th when DH's monthly money will drop by nearly £800 :eek: per month.

    Need to pay £514 per month for the next 5 months to clear it - min payment is set at £286 so we need to find £228 per emonth extra. (roughly £60 per week).

    :j love a good challenge.

  • yipee managed to get on ebay today have listed 43 things, yipee. And what makes it even better is I got to get the spag bol out of the freezer didn't really fancy thou, then DH called and has requested carbonara I said ok but we need bacon, cream etc etc and he has gone to the shop....normally that would have resulted in a paddy. Miracles do happen maybe he will have cooked it by the time I get home as well....lol :rolleyes:
