    Excellent sounds fab. Moving is a nightmare and so stressful but will be worth it when you are settled in your new place :D

    Morning all.

    Doodledo - fingers crossed you get the house you want, sounds fab!

    CMD - good luck with the move, hope it doens't prove too stressful.

    So Pay Day was yesterday, all money allocated to different places, and waiting yet another month to pass to do exactly the same next pay day. :( One day of thrill of paying bills and debts and then it's all over. Only other thing that makes extra payments tick over is the trickle of amazon money now and again. And 2.5 years more of this??? How do we cope? :(

    Morning T. It's awful isn't it. I get paid and by the end of the next day everything has gone out and I am back to being skint and counting the days down till next payday. It's a hard slog which at times can be so depressing but we will all get there.

    Good luck vibes to SA hope you get on ok :D

    Yep, it's awful, but somehow we manage. Have just taken off a month from DFD and after I've paid Virgin cc, I think it should drop at least by another 5! :)
