Lucielle's daring debt free journey

Sounds like a lovely weekend.

Having my day off as today, as DS2 has got the orthodontist. Will try and get DD2 an appointment as she lost another tooth last night and they should be able to fit her twin blocks a bit sooner. She has an appointment for July but the sooner we get started the sooner they'll be off.

Day appears to be nice so washing can go on the line.

Thanks taxi. It's obviously working for you. I got to goal weight losing almost 3 stone when I was coming up to 40, many years ago, but it all came back on over the next several years. I didn't go back for maintenance sessions. Ah well.

have never got to goal weight as ene up giving up but this time feels really different...

Morning everybody in cyber space, tis a lovely day out there. Had a busy week getting things done for my NVQ, did my presentation and passed it but still got bits to do so need to find that motivation and get it done.

Went to look at a house thats been on the market for a while at silly money. They have dropped the price to sensible and as I 'know' the property we went to view it with our friendly builder. Its a large old property in need of a bit of TLC and I've been in lust with it for ages. I had the builder look in every nook and cranny. Anyway after a very long chat with my sister and BIL, we worked out that we could afford our half of the mortgage, but to do all the cosmetic work and pay them back it just wasn't going to be viable. So with a very heavy heart on my part we're leaving it, unless I find a million knocking around.

A few weeks ago I had a really long chat with my boss and sort of ended up pouring my heart out to him about our living conditions and OH needing a workshop etc. Yesterday he called me into his office as he had his agent up (we have units we let out on site) and mentioned a place that wasn't let out at the moment and hadn't been for a while and would this be something we'd be interested in? As he has mislaid the keys for it I couldn't have a look inside and I'd need OH to have a look.

It adds another problem into the pot, do we keep looking for a property where we are or look more in the area where I work? If that was the case it would mean the chaps having to move school, something I'm not keen on. Decisions, decisions.

My boss used to be in the local amateur dramatics and he sponsored this years event and got free tickets. So 6 of us including the office manager and boss went to see it, we had pizza and before hand and LOTS of beer afterwards. I feel ok today but think the office manager maybe in the dog house with his wife. We've all fallen in love with the bosses new car, Audi Quattro 7 seat jobby. Lush. Poor OH waited up to pick me up at 1.30am and he had an early start this morning. The boss paid for everything and he was desparate to go down into the 'toon' and find a night club, we were not so keen.

Nothing planned for today, DD2 is going to a friends, Ds1 probably will want to go ferreting at some point. Paid £134 off the debt yesterday, struggling to make overpayments as Ohs wages have gone down due to his shift change and losing hours. Car needs its MOT in April and tax and I've a horrible feeling OHs insurance might be up for renewal.

Sounds like youve got lots going on in the brain dept, so many decisions and not easy ones either. Perhaps when hubby checks out the unit you may feel a bit better about deciding what to do, but I know how you feel re moving the lads to another school its so difficult, we have decided to stay put for now and just keep plugging away. Pants to the overpayments too its getting difficult here to make any noticeable inroads to the debt, but keep smiling.:beer:

Forgot to say I had a riding lesson on Tuesday which I thoroughly enjoyed. My hoover died, so that's my excuse for living in a pit, though it is going to drive me daft.
