  • Jen, its not fair - I started comping a couple of months ago and have only won a spare pair of underwear when I first started and a cook book a couple of days ago. Have had to stop entering them as I will be moving at the end of the month and didn't want to win something but never recieve it!!!!

    Hi Aussie-if you win something big you might need that spare pair of underwear!!!lol
  • ROFL!! Maybe!!! I was still pretty excited when I won the underwear cos it was the first thing I won. I feel deprived that I can't enter anything at the moment, winning the cook book this week made me think that maybe I could win something really big. Will start again in September and see how I go!

    Hi all,

    I would like to not have to share a house any more, to be able to travel and to return to Australia next year with savings instead of debt!!!

    Lula - I would give anything to live on a narrow boat, it must be awesome, can I come visit when you get yours??? I decided I wanted to have my hens night on a narrow boat but this will probably be difficult since I will be getting married a year or so after we get back to Aus!!

    Good luck with everyone on getting their 'wants'!!
    Aussie


    Hey Aussie,

    course you can :D I shall have a big DFW party.

    I'm even more determined now, yesterday went to visit my BIL's dutch barge that he brought over from Holland & is in the process of doing up. I would much prefer one of those to a narrow boat - I find them far too claustrophobic & dismal in winter. Although it was tipping down, we sat in the wheel house looking out over the river & it was like being in a conservatory on water ... I really really really want one, in fact I think I neeeeed one.

    Thanks moneymabel for getting me back on track, its so easy to focus on just trying to pay off debts & kind of lose the reason why :rolleyes:
