  • Woo hoo! i'm back, ran out of coat hangers so the end must be in sight surely!

    Just found ds2 rugby kit in the bottom of his wardrobe, now I must say I love my youngest dearly but I could quite cheerfully kill him at times! This being one of those times! I have been outside shaking and brushing it for about 10 minutes and its still covered in mud! OH can tackle the boots ive had enough! The soil level on the back must have gone up by 2foot! Do they roll around in it on purpose? Not fully enjoyed thereselves until not an inch of clothes can be seen for mud??? so i'm going to have to wash them by hand first before they can go in the wash, grrr.

    Just having a nice cup of tea and a read up on my MS then i'm off to do it!

    Well done on the egg Hypno, sub £10k must feel great, my debts should be in the £20k's by the end of the month, bring it on! compingirl x
    CC Debt: Jan 10 £21,660 now £8,170 hurrah!

    Hypno, you've almost got yourself a 'normal' amount of debt going on there. Not fair, I want one! That's a great result from Egg, you won't be shedding tears when that one disappears of the list I'm sure!

    Hope the bumps mend quickly. Apparently arnica is good for bruises?

    Hi PP, It is a long time since anything about me was "normal"........! It feels sooo much better having that level of debt than the £100k plus that we started with - that was just downright scary!

    I might even get down to "average" this year.........

    I have been taking arnica for the bruises, so hopefully they will heal quickly......I am really only looking for an excuse to eat chocolate (my latest excuse is that I reviews a peanut kitkat chunky on dooyoo a few weeks ago, so now I feel I ought to have one of the "original" chunky ones just so that I can review that and compare.......but in order to compare properly, I have had to eat another peanut one too.............there is noooo hope for me!).

    :D

    Thanks for the heads up on qype bob!

    I have done two dooyoo reviews today (not yet done the kitkat.....), but otherwise not a lot moneywise going on this evening. DD is babysitting, so she is earning money, and as she babysat last night as well, she is far richer than I will probably ever be!

    Perhaps I can persuade DD to subcontract - she can get the jobs, and then take 10%........and I will get the rest and the biscuits and the sky TV for the night :D
