    Oh the glamour of it all :eek:, glad you can see the funny side now :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Expenses inputted to work so they owe me £400 before my credit card bill arrives. 33 hours OT booked pity its on flat rate, so that can be spent on the car as it needs a CAM belt and the rest can go to an OP

    :T BF had a 2nd viewing on his house :T BF had an offer on his house :eek: BF turned down offer as it was way to cheeky 20K under asking price so now we wait.......................

    Off to see my parents today as Bionic dad birthday in the week, only 2 more years and he'll get a free passport!!

    Half way through the year and the goal of paying off another 10K is on target £5600 paid which will be £7500 by the end of the year with normal OP each month, so to reach target I need to find another £2500 :rotfl:

    Might have to volunteer for some more trips away at work

    Good luck on finding the extra 2.5K - anything you could ebay/sell on amazon??

    Congrats on getting under £15K!! I'm so please for you. It really is a slog, isn't it... 15K is so close, and yet so far!!

    Glad your Dad's op went well.

    Drastic way of beating me on the losing weight front. You sure do know how to have fun on work trips.

    £15k is fabulous. I can't wait till we are there, maybe a year at this rate.
