Horace's Bootstraps Diary

in Debt free diaries
Well as you can guess from the title I am now on my uppers - yes I was debt free a short while ago but now I am not:rolleyes: I have had to hit the plastic to cover some start up business expenses e.g. a domain name, some stationery (from the evil Vistaprint) and other little bits.

My projected cashflow and profits look healthy so I will be able to pay myself back out of the business once it gets going.

Any advice on how to remain debt free will be useful. No need to post my SOA as I am already living on my means.

Jobs to do Today:

Clear out Newspapers and take them for recycling
Start typing my assignment
Start typing up blurb for my website
Start assembling my questionnaire for potential clients
Find a cheap hotel room in Harrogate (or a B&B) for the Harrogate Bridal Trade Show next month.
Find something to eat from the freezer
Finish off the bar of chocolate in the fridge (1 down 1 to go:D )
Wash up
Put my clothes away
Do more washing
Put an offer on Freecycle - I have bags of Prawn Cocktail crisps that I hate - came in multibag with nice crisps that I like
Hunt for Trolls
and anything else that I can think of between now and bedtime

Sorry for rambling but hope that my bootstraps will be interesting.
