    Don't be daft offload all you want honey. I think focusing on your debt seems like a great idea and wait for OH to catch up with his :idea:

    Its no wonder you're feeling out of sorts - you've had a horrible year but loads of fab things ahead new house, new puppy and whole new year in which to kick your debt and win the paper hat.

    PS Do you work for tea company in trouble? Article today saying looks bad but they're optimistic of another buyout. Fingers crossed for you xx

    No, they are my main competition.... the dreaded W.....

    Had a nice chat with a friend, which was much needed.
    Think I will try to just concentrate on one card for the time being, and am thinking about having an ultra tight couple of months, at least until my bday...

    Youre right Shelley this year has just been such a turmoil, first good then great than utterly awful, then bad then good, and then sad and then a whole host of other emotions.... just want things to stay level for a while!

    CAFC - hun Shelley has said it right, you have had a !!!!!! year and it is no wonder you feel a bit all over the place. You have had many unsettling and heart breaking things happen which would knock any of us for six. You have handled all of these things admirably and to be where you are now is proof of what a fantastic person you are. You are a strong determined lady who will get everything she wants in time.

    You have been a proper friend to me and things you have done and said to me this year have made a real difference to me and I will appreciate that always.

    I swear 2009 is going to be our year, I can just feel it :D

    2009 will be divine for thine (!!)

    Well rhyming is not my strong point. So ladies if we're sitting here just before Christmas 2009 what will we be saying?

    I hope (love that reminds me of Shawshank)
    • to be in my new home
    • with two springer puppies :D
    • but seeing as housing market pants would be happy to still be renting but saving like crazy to increase my deposit
    • to have had a crazy and fun year
    • to be a stone or two lighter :eek:
