    Morning all.

    Not long to go mm, you must be really excited now.

    I worked out we had enough to pay the debt off this month, but haven't done it because I need to have some back up for xmas money, so am going to start xmas shopping a bit more so I can then chuck more at the debt. Just a bit worried the credit crunch will start to hit us a bit more and we'll have no back up money. I know the debt has interest attached to it but even so

    Have a good day everyone.
  • Hiya anyone/everyone.

    It's getting quieter & quieter on here through the day. I've been to the post office already, sent the remainder of my ebay parcels, done most washing & ironing, practiced my accountancy stuff, so have nothing much to do! I got my freefivers cheque today too and paid that in at the bank so now my £10 a day challenge is complete.

    My nan isn't very well today - my mam has gone to see her and call the doctor out. Things seem to be getting worse... she seems to have a chest infection every month, she gets taken into hospital and they give her antibiotics and steroids, then she's okay for a few weeks before she gets another infection :( My dad is in a foul, controlling mood too, for no apparent reason.

    Hope you're all having a good day xxx

    I'm off to make a cuppa and watch daytime tv for a bit!!

    Hey All

    MM - not long now! :j

    CL - so sorry to hear about your nan, fingers crossed she gets better soon.

    Well im in work, and im a bit annoyed. They made it sound like they were drowning in work, hence me coming in. I finished everything within an hour.

    My boss called me up and said he was faxing something over if i could fit it in my busy schedule, i told him I had done everything. He basically was given the impression by our junior guy that he was waiting for me to type everything, when he hasnt even given me anything to type. So they dragged me in for nothing really. :mad: All because that bloke decided to shift the blame onto someone off sick.

    Not a happy bunny.
