Fire Fox's Debt-Free in 2009 Diary

Also any idea when he will go? You need to think of a reasonable time scale to let him stay and tell him.

Ah Fire Fox, im just thinking of the positives in life the now, which you should too !

Im healthy, I have tests to get done next week but im sure ill be fine - ahhh ! I have nice hair (its a positive !), i have good friends and an amazing family.

As for the relationship stuff, I have had 2, one a year and a half of puppy love and the 2nd nearly 2 years (the break up a couple of months ago), they have knocked me for 6 so a single me for a while couldnt hurt. I am only 21 and have had enough of men already lol.

Im quite happy just getting debt free, decided Im going to take that new job and also going to get myself a wee car at the beginning of the year.

He will go and sleep on his mum's sofa at age 31. No job, no car, no girlfriend, not even a bed of his own.

Went to a social of a local eco group last night: spent £30 on alcohol and £5 on a taxi. My male friend is definitely still interested, he said I'd pulled when I was chatting to one of the new guys for ages, and has since texted to ask me to go for a night out where he lives and stay over. :eek: No, no and no again.

Oh no. Why do some men do this?!

I am thinking of a major overhaul of my telecoms situation when Mr. Fire Fox goes, and would welcome any advice.

At the moment I have a mobile phone with Orange which has another six months to run. Then we have mobile broadband with Three (15GB) which is attached to Mr. Fire Fox's phone contract but paid for out of my bank account. I have no landline, and just Freeview for TV which he watches loads and I rarely bother with.

In total the above telecoms are costing around £40 a month. I am not going to carry on paying for the mobile broadband when he leaves me, just going to cancel the DD and wait to get cut off. I am also seriously considering getting rid of the TV license and watching iPlayer instead. According to Fifer on the Techie board I can download some free software and buy a £15 dongle so I can watch iPlayer and 4On Demand through the TV.

BT are offering free phone line installation until the end of this month and there is £60 cashback. I can't get Virgin Media cable, but there is £60 cashback for their non-cable packages .... not sure which is better and which package I need tho?

Well i love virgin media and i havent had problems with them, plus once your with them maybe 3 months im sure you can wangle a free upgrade of some sort.

Plan B is to take advantage of the Orange home broadband reduction for existing customers. This brings the price for unlimited broadband to less than £10 IF the exchange in my area is unbundled. This is a big IF as Orange can't tell me until I have a BT line in place :rolleyes: but I have established online that several Bradford exchanges have been unbundled. And there appears to be £40 cashback, tho not sure if this is only for new customers.

Cats Protection have just rung, asked a few questions and are coming to do a home visit on Thursday!! :j

Haven't really cooked all week, but caught up with some cleaning as it keeps me busy (under the bed made the vacuum overheat :eek: ). Last night made pork, sugarsnap peas and roasted new potatoes; today I am going to make lentil and sausage soup.

I shouldn't be allowed to shop on the internet ... just spent £27 at Lakeland including a birthday present for Mr. Fire Fox, and £33 on a pair of recycling bins.
