    Meeting up is a great idea! Although maybe not just the singletons?

    :eek::eek::eek: OH MY GOD!!! It really looks like I was excluding everyone else, I didn't mean it like that guys honest, I was meaning some kind of speed dating mallarky for a joke!!! I'm so sorry if anyone feels left out by that comment :o:o:o:o

    But HELL YEAH!!! Sounds like a great idea getting lots of us together although the logistics may be a bit of a nightmare with people in Canada, Australia, Ireland :rotfl: and from one side of the UK to the other but sounds like it could be a right laugh!!! :D xxx

    Sorry :rotfl: I was just trying to clarify it to myself... none of my debt included interest (even my loan, as it was added monthly) so I was completely confused for a minute. Maybe that's why my assignments are always well under the word count, I'm tight with words :D



    Sounds definitely a 'meh' day :( How long do you usually stay with the client? How long do you get off? Hope you feel more upbeat soon :)

    Usually three weeks on and then a couple off. Already half way through so not too bad :)
    In debt no more!

    Whilst I'm thinking about it and before I go and slink off for an evening of maltesers, cloudy lemonade, and american sitcoms....I start my new job tomorrow yippeee if you're on the M40 or M42 between 5.30am - 9.30am or 5.30pm - 8pm wave as I go past :) This means I can't come on during the daytime a much, but will catch up with everyone in the evenings :)

    So I shall now be setting the weekly mini challenge on a Sunday :)

    The coming weeks mini challenge: Grow something
    Ok so we all need to be eating healthier and learning to be more frugal. The best way of doing this is to grow our own food, whether it's planting onions/galic, or bringing on some little seedlings or even cress, or buying a pot of basil/rosemary. So grab yourself a pot and some dirt, plant some seeds (or buy a ready built plant), and grow your own.

    The easiest way to do this would be to buy a ready grown herb plant that you can keep on your window sill in the kitchen or bathroom by the window. Although I've heard that SM ones aren't very good and die quickly.

    Then when you've got your plant, throw some of the fresh leaves (if it's herbs) into your cooking and see what a difference fresh ingredients make. I can already smell the gorgeous basil smell of a rubbed leaf mmm, so much better than dried.

    Sounds ominous!

    Can I contribute to the grow your own, start saving any left over potatoes for chitting (hope thats the approved phrase) and plant later this year.

    not debt busting yet from me but have lost 3 more lb's this week yay!!! am feeling battered and bruised at the moment as rather unceremoniously got dumped up on the common earlier by my four-legged beasty who promptly galloped off in the direction of home..luckily a dog walker managed to catch him before he got into any trouble on the road!!!

    lots of hugs to those that need them .. and well done on your debt busting so far :)
