The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

Have you read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak? It's wonderful, I read it about six months ago (cried my eyes out on a Cuban beach!) and I can't recommend it enough. It's in Tesco I think for about £4.

6 watchers on the guitar, no bids yet though. Have 28 things finishing tomorrow night of which 8 currently have bids on them.

Mum took me to Starbucks at the weekend especially so she could have her first gingerbread latte of the year!

Living North is lovely, I wanted to go to the Good Food festival at Birmingham but I have my best friends house warming AND my cousins up from London that weekend so it's just not going to happen this year unfortunately.

Yey, I called O2 as I never received a text back about my bill adjustment as it was charging me for texting OH. They have credited me with £53 so that should cover this months bill and hopefully next months too. Think I might transfer that into my ISA for CC2 :rolleyes:

That's good news regarding the phone.

I do have that book! Might dig out an oldie of mine rather than get a new one. Much more MSE. But the smell wont be there! I'll just have to go stand in waterstones and breathe for awhile instead *ahem*

I was thinking of having a gingerbread latte! I think they have 3 new ones this year though?

(good news on the phone btw!!)

Yup the black forest coffee looked nice, but then I love cherries. Can't actually drink coffee though, gives me migranes.

Go book shopping on your own bookcase, I always find one I had forgotten about and really want to read again (I started I capture the castle AGAIN last night!) or do you have a friend who likes reading? Ask if you could borrow one of hers as you've run out. Just go sniff the books to get your fix .

Sold the first comic today, £7.49 :j. That pretty much covers the fees for all the comics I posted so only need to sell one more to start getting a profit! Have 28 ebay items finishing tongiht, total of £32 of bids on them at the moment.

3 days, I'm dancing about with excitement already! Due to the times of the flights changing for winter I can go and pick him up without having to take time off too.

I have 70 of the ones that are £5-£10 each, then about 300 random lesser ones. But only this one has sold so far which is very slow going!

Told OH my plans for the evening (list a mixed box of books and cds and games I found in the shed on Amazon) and he won't let me! Says he might secretly like doing it and will list them for me at the weekend! Now he is about 3x quicker than me at it, but still seems like too nice to be true. Expecially after I gave him a 'down with optemism and dreaming' rant at lunchtime!

ooooh the days are going down so quick for you!!

ooh i wanted to try that black forrest starbucks coffee.. tell me, my OH fave of all time is the eggnog one and it isnt no the list this year, please dont tell me no where is doing it this year?? someone in there seemed to think they were bringing it out on xmas eve, for one day (!?!) i refuse to believe they would buy all that eggnog mixe etc, just for one day!?!?

I thought that was one of the ones they were doing but I didn't look too hard I have to say - made a beeline straight for the caramel hot chocolate as usual!

All my books on amazon have started to run out of time today so I'm sat here relisting them as they finish. Depressingly almost all the ones that are finishing I'm one of 356 used copies or what have you, so can't see any of them going any time soon!
