The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

A question about : The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

This is a thread for all you impatient people out there-whether it's a debt you want to pay off quickly or something you want to save up for but can't possibly wait another minute for!
Theres not a specific challenge, just pop in and have a chat about what you are doing to make that extra cash, put your target in your sig and hopefully we can help each other to get where we want to be NOW!!

• hi mabel i want to be on the first page of this thread!!! there is loads i want!
• Hi angelflower!-good luck with all your wants!! It helps me if i have something specific to focus on after i have finished debt paying so thought it might help others. :-)
• Hi Jen-welcome to our second home ;-)
• We really want to get on the property ladder but it'll take a while to save up and get rid of the existing debt at the same... so I have opened up a cash isa account in my name to save all the odd amounts in which will keep me focused to find more ways to raising money to get the debt down and boost the deposit fund!
  I really like these types of threads! Been on the forums the whole night...
• i will edit my signature in a sec mm

• oooh, I thought Dale would get further. Not that I have been watching it LOL.
  I didnt have my Betfair track either but received stuff in the post from them yesterday which went straight into the recycling. Cheesed off about that.
  Yeah, Hayley....I am on this site for hours and hours at a time. I just think if I am on here....I am not out spending! Shame I dont actually get much done tho.

• I think i was lucky as i did betfair a few months ago and it tracked and paid fine, seems to be recently that the probs started
  mmmmmm meringue .....strawberry pavlova..... thats what i want!!
• I want a new roof as it was repaired last year and now rains in again.
  New bathroom suite, it really is tatty and many, many years old.
  A new boiler which might be more economical on gas as ours is years old.
  A flat stomach, firmer bottom and arms, maybe liposuction.
  A new garage, that rains in too.
  Maybe we should just move.

• lmao-yep moving sounds good :-) I hear you on the flatter/smaller everything, wish i had the willpower myself!
  good luck with your wants-hope you get them soon
• i want to do a debt free roll of honour! PLEASE!! Ј260 to go!! nearly there. i have a feeling this month will be a big spending month. the mc fly cd i won and stck on e bay is on 99p with 11 watchers got a feeling it may be worth more that i thought (i was thinking a fiver if i was lucky!!) will see how it is doing to tomorrow as i would rather not go to the hasstle of sending it abroad
• Yeah good idea jen-perhaps tell her that you have had a few more questons about it so you have decided to let the auction run.
• hey moneymabel,
  before I had my lightbulb I wanted a campervan / canal-houseboat to escape to. I've kind of let go of the campervan idea as really just need a newer car that doesnt cost Ј200 each time it goes near a garage :rolleyes: but I still really really really want a canal-houseboat as used to live on one pre DDs & still mourn & yearn for that lifestyle .
  It's in the back of my mind that when debt gone, so saving for boat begins but havent 'come out ' til now so maybe your thread will help keep me motivated now

• Lula-Hula, you are just like me, dreams of escaping.
  One day you'll get want you want, be it a narrowboat or a campervan/motor home. Just kep at it and you'll get there.
  I want a chalet in Anglesey, one day.
• Hey Barneysmom,
  You gotta have dreams or what's the point ?
  Here's to chalets, boats & escapism
