    Thanks Bob, he called DS earlier and apologised and they seemed to be having a normal chat so fingers crossed....

    This evening DS and I have been drinking cocoa, eating toasted crumpets and doing a jigsaw - should I apply to join the famous five now??? but since he's gone to bed I've found myself a nice glass of red!

    This weekend tasks:

    1. Yet more ebaying - only made about £3 last week though
    2. More dejunking of DS's room
    3. Reread MBing instructions with a view to doing a bit in theory without actually putting the money on.

    mmm...have done a bit of the dejunking but apart from that...:o lots of popping into see friends though so not spent too much money.

    WILL EBAY TONIGHT!:D

    another cheap day out with DS (£3 total spend), lots of hiding in the trees though to avoid the showers but good fun and hopefully a few calories burnt up.
    Chicken roasting nicely - yum!

    :o:o can't find camera....so no ebaying tonight. I think DS was playing with it (it's his as mine is broken) but he's off to bed and I'm not sure where he left it.

    Have had a look at houses to rent and if I can get this place sold I think that might not be too bad an idea... will leave it until after christmas though so will probably be tarting the place up to go on the market while prices crash through the floor!

    I hate this place Beanie! The area seems to be getting rougher by the day, it's not to settle the debts off just to get out. I probably will wait until the debt's gone to prove a point to myself but that's a bit pointless really...

    No if thats how you feel then get out ASAP.
    You dont have to prove anything to anyone least of all yourself as you KNOW you will soon be debt free.
    Take care hun xx

  • Good luck with that skinty. I live in an area which is a bit middling really, the kids can be a problem but is very quiet and neighbours are great..so you have to take the rough with the smooth..amd well impressed with MBing as well.
