Helloooooooo
Welcome back all.
I realised that I am a pillock! I accidentally paid £170 onto a completely clear credit card instead of my virgin card - duh
Now have to get it moved over. Am not taking it off my siggy as it will be off the Virgin Card in a few days.

Hello everyone!
I had a lovely weekend. On Saturday I went to town with my bf to buy new trainers (for free with the money my friend gave me for helping her move) and my bf treated me for a lunch in Prezzo's and on Sunday I went on the beach to play volleyball which seamed to help my trapped nerve that was still making my ankle really stiff. Now it's much better!
No debt busting news though...

Hi doodledoo and others - I've had a good day part preparing for job interviews and tests and part just relaxing.... Best of all I am child free for a few days - now that is a true holiday :rotfl:The question I hate most from my kids "So did you miss me?" :rotfl:The peace, the tranquility etc... hmmm hard one... my DD woke me up about 5 times last night which I think was probably a record even for her....!
How have you all been? Did you miss the forums much....?
I find it interesting that the profile now shows how thankful you are which it didn't before....:TAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
