    Good Luck IA.. if anyone can do it, you can.

    I was reading back through my old diary today and I mentioned I was feeling motivated after reading your diary.... and have followed all of your subsequent diaries.

    Shame we're not nearer to you as I have a lovely V reg Astra I'm selling... for not a lot at all. xx

  • Hi IA

    When I found MSE, it was the DFW board that I first started reading and your diary in particular that I read a lot of. I've dipped in and out ever since (there's are whole lot of other MSE to read!!) but have always been intrigued by your honesty and well just found your diary's really interesting (think I'm just nosey!).

    So good luck for 2009 and hope you acheive your goals.

  • Morning all. Have woken up with a right stinking headache for some reason.. looooovely. Was up til 1.30 as had a mate over who I'm helping sort his finances out and get his debt paid off. Was good practice for my future debt advice work too so mutually beneficial.. lol! Also did my January budget last night. Will post that up shortly.
    Tonight I'm off out to celebrate new years eve properly with my boys :D Can't wait. NYE was miserable so planning on replicating it tonight lol! Need to shift this bloody headache first though... *rolls eyes*

    Girls are both fine, although Ash was up at stupid oclock deciding she wanted to watch tv... :rolleyes: But yea... the suns shining... got the feeling it's going to be a good day. :)
