    Hello :wave:

    Its been hot and sticky here but seems a bit of a breeze tonight but I've been huffing and puffing like Doodles dog in my sticky west facing room at work.

    Glad to hear the flashbacks are good :rotfl:

    Also lovely to see some debt busting on the thread we do seem to keep waylaying it (and I mean we I'm not taking sole blame!)

    Picnic sounds like lovely idea as long as somewhere with shelter too as it is England don't let this week fool you :p

    Sadly my £500 is routine payments so you might want to hang on to the congrats - lol

    We could plan for a picnic and then have a back up plan in the event of rain

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Yeah, I feel really bad debt wise at the moment. So much money is going out. At least when OH's JSA comes through I can use that money to pay off the debts each week and I will feel like I am getting somewhere.

    Haven't been able to do AQA for ages cos work pay for my broadband and are taking ages to get it installed in the new place. I only have a dongle that is compatible with my work PC. That is driving me a bit mad as well as it is a good source of income.

    God damn you lot!
    I'm gonna have to give up my job just so I can read this thread one page at a time rather than trying to read through 16 pages between mouthfuls of curry!!!

    Just think of all those things we will all have again when the debt is paid.... and if only you lot put enough effort into finding extra cash and ways to save money as you did googling mulberry handbags.......

    Honestly what more do I need to say to you people!!!!

    GAH!
