  • Tirlittan,

    You sound so relaxed after your few days away. And sounds like your boyfriend really spoilt you so that's lovely! Great news about the extra pay. Bet that made a difference!

    Welcome back T glad you had a good few days away and bless BF for all that spoiling.

    CAFC - dooyoo NOW! I am on there now but find I end up reading other peoples reviews for too long lol.

    I was thinking at work last night about how nice life will be for us once our debts are gone. We both earn fairly good wages and when you add up what you spend out each month to think that will be in your account can be a real motivator. I long for the day one account will go up instead of down and the day I don't live in my overdraft.

    We CAN do this however, long it may take we WILL get there and when we do and we all have lots of lovely money we can all meet up and celebrate :T

    Sounds great but seems so long off! Good motivator though!

    Thank you all. I felt just a tiny bit bad for BF treating me so much, but it was my 30th birthday, so I thought I deserved it. :)My work's computer died last week and since it's been rebuilt it won't allow me to use anything else except black standard font on this site. :(:( :(I can't wait to be debt free and use all my 'extra' money on nice holidays and experiences. Seems a way off though...

  • CAFC Girl,

    I like the sound of them apples.....

    must remember however not to wear new sexy heels on way home from pub... no matter how much we want to try them on again and wear them in, it is not worth the risk of injury!:rotfl:
