Good, cause I didn't have a chocolate bar for you in my budget, it would have squed (I know what word that is meant to be, but as for spelling, can anyone help?!) my numbers.
Bit worried about your squeing, does it leave a damp spot? Can you get help for it?
Would hate to mess up your budget, I am good at budget messing though!Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Keep going!

Don't blush, it's all in good fun. There is one of the funniest threads I've ever read on the relationship board, it's entitled for women only (or something like that) I couldn't read it at work as it was making me snortTotal debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! No, that isn't good. I applied for another 0% card before Xmas and got the big 'No' so can't really transfer. I do have some savings that I might be able to transfer over but that won't cover the whole thing. It is so frustrating.
Be interested to hear some of your 'experiences of a lifetime'. All your other stuff makes me giggle. I think you should write a book!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

All I can do is suggest you plan for it. I can't get any other credit either, it's a real pain. I will never use credit for unnecessary things again. It will be for emergency only (oh and spite, with 10p on MBNA)
Will probably add stuff in my ramblings as they fit in. I am trying to remain anonymous on here you know!!

Hello Piq my lovely :hello:
Sorry I haven't posted for so long - I have just had to catch up from page 11! Thanking you muchly for the potato, onion and chedder bake..will have to try that!
I'm doing slimming world at moment in preparation for wedding - missed my blooming wine this weekend! Still, should be worth it! Really should do my own diary shouldn't I? "Marriage, money and meals" However, I would worry no one would read!
Oooh, and I enjoyed reading the history of you and exex. Don't you ever let anyone judge you as they have absolutely no right. You're a good egg you!

I'd read it and join in, sure I've got some marriage stories somewhere....
You'd probably find a diary would help, there's a lot to do for a wedding and losing weight is difficult, if only chocolate and wine were fat and calorie free....
Exex was on top form with the IM last night, if only he had know he was announced by a giant green duck :rotfl:Can't possibly ask for help removing the duck as exex is an expert in IT type stuff (that statement makes perfect sense to me).
I'm doing gnocci tonight, not slimming at all. Once it's cooked and steam dried I saute (much better word than fry) them in diluted chilli oil until they are golden and crispy. Then serve them with a tomato sauce (home made of course) Excellent with a glass of wine - sorryTotal debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
