Oh wow Jen, sounds like a fantastic plan to get fit etc.
I need to, and have decided the diet starts on Monday. I have crappy food in the fridge to eat today, and then i wont buy anymore lol
I have nowt planned today. Just done a bit of tidying up, got dressed (even though i said i wouldnt!), and now just about to chill on the sofa.
Feel like I should be doing something though.Debt: just my mortgage0 -

Afternoon everyone, well done on selling your computer lilmiss.
I called the car people this morning and was told if I want to pay off my car early it would be £3047.65 as things stand, it's more than I thought it would be but there is probably some early repayment fee factored into it... I'll see how it's broken down when I get the letter. Anyway, I was thinking last night and had a bit of a brainwave... I think I need to get into stoozing...
I've been researching and virgin do a 0% card for 15 months. They send you cheques which you can write out to yourself and desposit in your bank to get the cash. There is a 2.98 % fee for this but even so with the £2000 I need this should only be about £60, saving me about £400 in interest. The only problem is that as I haven't had a job for the last year and am only just about to start one there is no way in hell they are about to give me one... So I'm going to try and guilt my dad into getting one in his name. The problem is that he absolutely hates credit cards and has never had one in his life. I think this will actually require me to start crying before it works.... Bah.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470 -
Hi all,
that's good news about your PC lilmiss! Most of my ebay things that I listed on 5p day, have now sold (just 4 left out of 20 now) so I feel slightly less cluttered. Roll on the next 5p day...0 -

Good luck with the dieting, Amy, and savour that last piece of cake! I find that the only time I lose weight is when I'm so worried that forget to eat :S I've unconsciously dropped a lot of weight recently and don't want to lose anymore as I'm very tall so I look like a string bean at the minute, and my skin is awful
I'll probably put it all back on around xmas though
Is it just me or has it been very quiet on here this weekend?0 -
Please watch out for troll deeplyindebt.
ignore, it has been reported!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0
