Only registered today, although have been reading these forums for quite some time.
Thought was about time I registered though - although my debts are 'under control' for the moment, they are (amongst a few other things) also a cause of concern to my girlfriend who has indicated that I could move in with her in the not-too distant future, but is very hesitant to allow me to do so whilst I have debts hanging over me.0 -

To be honest, my visits will be occasional anyway - I can only access the internet at work - I DID have it at home (a room I rent on a Farm) but had both the internet and my phoneline disconnected recently as don't consider either of them to be a necessity and thought that it would a sensible first-step toward saving ££.0 -
No and on looking through the bill I really cant see where we have spent that.......oh just checked again...most of it is carried forward from the last one:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0
