    :mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.

    I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long :(

    Been really busy at work so only just caught up on the post's, like Bowski I love free things even if I get a voucher and i don't want the item I go get it, there's always someone in my family who'll snatch it out of my hands.
    I've been trying to empty my freezer so in the last week I've eaten chilli and chips, spag bol and chips, stew and chips, soup and chips and I found some cheese topped t-cakes in there I forgot I'd bought, and after eatin all that it doesn't look like I've eaten anything, on the plus side I've not bought a lot.
    TDQO get out to the garden party like Sarah say's it's very MSE and it will stop you spending money and there'll be loads of people there, I wish it was warmer here, if it wasn't for fake tan I'd look like a milk bottle.

    I forgot in the freezer I found a tub with raspberries written on it, I thought there's never going to raspberries in it now, and guess what there was, I made some flap jacket style biscuits the raspberries were lovely, even better as they came out of the garden and didn't cost owt.

    Have you got a nice simple recipe ? I've got lots of blackberries in the freezer, that I picked when I went for my (almost) daily walks in the Autumn, I'm sure they could be used in the same way :confused:

    Virtual and dodgy hugs most welcomeicon7.gif

    Have been to the garage, it will be covered if it is the same as before, which I strongly suspect it is, have calmed down a bit now, but still icon9.gif Will have to risk driving it tomorrow and take it in at the weekend so hopefully not have to take a day off.

    On the plus side my shoes have arrived:j They are lovely and am really pleased with them, can't believe I got them for £19.50 each, they look so expensive ( which they were in the first place:D ) A couple of them could do with being a half size biggger, as my toes are a bit squashed in but they look fine so I will keep them. Too much faff to exchange.

    Also "How to meet a man after 40" has arrived:j Am a bit horrified to discover that if you are not married by 40 you only have a 2.6% chance :shocked:, so I had better get cracking. Think I shall add good with cars to my list, am sick of paying silly money for silly things, when I could be buying fabby shoes and books. :D
