    Anyone else panicking about Christmas?

    I just realised it's a month tomorrow (kinda snook up on me), and I've got no money :rolleyes:

  • oooooooh, I'd love a cleaner, even if just once a month. I just don't seem to have the hours in the day. I do the washing up, washing, put the rubbish out, keep the cooker top clean and the place is generally tidy, but that's about it each day. I shudder when I look up at the cooker hood :o:o:o

    Right, back to AQA'ing. Just been for a walk in the park, it was cold but sunny.

    I got home to free chocolate in the post from a freebie by Galler. Not sure if it is still available. It's now just a wrapper on the desk.........:rotfl:

    Morning all! I am having a good day today, as I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

    So far this year I have paid off £5560 on my credit cards, and now have just one remaining!!! £1770 but I have just managed to transfer it on a 0% card till May 2009, so hopefully will crack that by then.

    This will also be the first year in living memory that Christmas will NOT be paid for on credit cards, woop woop!

    Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I post quite a bit but don't seem to get far with the debtbusting... Maybe my New Year resolution should be to give up the daily chats...:p
