    Just updated the spreadsheet, and another TWO squares have been coloured in with today's DDs. Yay! Even better, I've just reached the end of the second line. So 2 lines out of 40 means I've paid one twentieth =5% of the debt off. Even bigger YAY!






    Debt at highest: £85,270 Now: £79,858.55
    Pay £70 a day - Day 23...£5,411.68/£1,610
    Xmas Olympic: £404.50/£4,008 ~ £10-a-day-Sept: £0/£300 ~ Sept NSDs: 0/5
  • Hi Panda
    Long Time no see!
    Glad to see you're back and more determined than ever!
    The piccies of your two Adam and Greg are lovely - glad to hear his skin is clearing up.
    I am just bringing myself round to listing lots of stuff of e bay but only managed about 4 things so far though! - The kids are back to school tomorrow so Ive got loads of uniform to label up and iron - I'll catch up with you later, Georgia is begging me to do a jigsaw with her!

    Have only had lunch once at Ikea a few years ago but it was salmon and roasted veg and it was very nice and very cheap...or am I easily pleased - can't do question mark as Tom asleep on my knee so only have one hand!

    That's one advantage you've got Choca - your other kids are old enough to look out for Tom.

    You'd think!

    I did great at Ikea: I got half the stuff I went for, and made up for not getting the other half by buying lots of other nice things instead :o:o:o . Bargain of the day was a memory foam pillow, was £36, got for 50p by asking in bargain corner as the packaging was damaged. Same for two red tablecloths, should have been £12.99 each, got the pair for a quid. £80-odds spent, but £70 of that was the bath panel and cabinet.

    MM, you've never been to an Ikea?:eek: They've been saying they're opening one in Soton since i lived there a billion years ago, but it's in the catalogue now, so maybe it is finally true.

    :hello:Hi Laura! Welcome to panda-world!

    And hi natlou! OH was just asking yesterday if I'd heard from you. Bet you're looking forward to school starting again! How's things?
