Sometimes, when I feel the months are dragging, I like to make lists of all the things I will do when i complete my IVA. Not big things but stuff like: open a savings account or pay my TV license all in one go or not have to do a cost-benefit analysis every time I want to buy new clothes..... It sounds a bit silly but it cheers me up.

So I was wondering.... what will you guys do? [:)]

We dream all the time, as you say it keeps you going, we're doing all sorts and the things do change. You can open a savings account now if you want, I did and have £15.00 in there! lol x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Go on holiday!

Helen and I have plans (once my IVA is completed) to go on a storm chasing holiday.

I've got a savings account too.
When this is over I think we will treat ourselves to a foreign holiday with the girls..then save for a deposit for a home, if anyone will ever lend to us again..sigh..

I'm not in an IVA, but I make plans for when my IPA finishes next year - sadly it coincides with my car insurance and service falling due, so my little splurge might have to wait a bit!

There are a couple of things I want to treat myself to - a new tattoo to mark a new start for me, and a Links of London Sweetie watch!

Realistically I won't get the watch, but I'll definitely get the tattoo!

I want a new tattoo as well! May have to see if I can persuade hubby to let me use some of the free council tax months to get one done.

Call it a late Christmas pressie!

Quark - by then I will have retired and have a lump sum, IVA will be finished so I think I can manage the insurance! It is one of my dreams.

Skippy - I have no idea at the moment. How about you?

Take plenty of Immodium with you!

When we went to Egypt in September, all the people who did the trip to Cairo came back with a bad stomach!

Me and my boyfriend have been saying we'll get tattoos done together for ages, we wanted to get a piece of jigsaw each because we're the missing jigsaw piece for each other(yes, you may go and vomit now!!) so I think we might finally get that done.

oooh I couldn't have a tattoo...can't stand pain [:0][:D]

Your wishes change as you go through the process I think. I used to dream of holiday, new car etc..but now when the IPA payments finish I think I'd just like to treat our nearest and dearest to a nice meal by way of thanks for their support. Other than that I want to save, save, save!

You never know what delightful surprises life will bring so I imagine my wish list will change again.

I've decided I'm going to get a butterfly. I was going to have one last time but had a row of stars instead.

I've just got to decide where to have it as I don't want it anywhere that it's permanently on show!

KitKat I think that's sweet! Not that I could ever persuade hubby to do that - he'd think I'd lost the plot!

Julie - I have one on my ankle and it did not hurt me at all!
