    :wave: evening all

    Welcome Starnac, I'm impressed you've read the whole thread and still want to join us :rotfl::rotfl:Not really! We're lovely sometimes we witter on for hours and other times it can go days without a post but we all keep come back.

    Good luck on your debt busting journey :D

    Had a horrid day even for a Monday. Was supposed to be doing shop on way home but couldn't be bothered. So have cheese and cucumber and got to hunt freezer for some form of bread / carbohydrate to go with it. If not I'll have to drag my butt to the shops.
    Looking for the perfect home and saving to make becoming a MFW easier
