    Hello :hello:

    Checking in late today, hope you enjoyed lunch Sophiesmum

    andan good to see you and thanks for controlling the list a little, not suffering quite so much list envy

    Essexgirl, hope you feel better, wrap up under the duvet, glass of wine and strictly should do the trick!

    I went down to the yard early today to enjoy the chilly sunshine and argue (play) with my horse. He had the dentist today, don't worry all budgeted for. He chose to show me exactly what he thought about it all by doing a broncing display with me on him, we did get a round of applause! Not bad for a 24 year old, that's him at 24, unfortunately, I am a little further up the age treee :D

    Today I paid a little more off the saddle fund, this was £18, which is actually the difference in minimum payments since I started here, so the total's down to £234.69. Actually, the payment for the saddle isn't showing on my card, so it will give me an extra month to clear it :T

    Apart from that I've done all my washing at 30, booked the car in for MOT and service, made a foccacia (sp?) and done the domestics
    Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

    Hi All,

    Sorry Ive been missing in action recently - loads of things have happened offline.

    Anyhow, here I am still doing the DFW thing.

    Today I have.......
    • went shopping at Sainsburys, stuck to the list and bought stardrops (rather than Fairy power shot foam)
    • treated my hubby and mum to a sandwich in town rather than going to a pub for lunch (had a really busy day, so had to get lunch on the move)
    Think that is about all for now, I will try to do more tomorrow.

    Take Care
