    Came home to a cheque for the gold I sent off - only sent it on Monday! £59.17! Pleased with that as it was just stuff that was lying around :rolleyes:

    So it's going straight to Barclaycard - and taking me under £25K :j:j:j

    Brilliant news! :j:j Very fast service and you are so right, if just lying around then no point in having it!

    Also think Firefox advice v. good. I should try and learn from it myself!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Been out to get a new telly (forced into it as this region has gone digital and mine didn't work :o)

    Have also spent my birthday money/vouchers. Got a rug, some cushions and a few bits - my mum is going to help be decorate next weekend (just need to buy paint now)

    Off to a party tonight - need to try my dress on and make sure it still fits :eek:

    Slightly reflective post :o

    I am wondering if the whole MSE/DFW thing is finally sinking in :confused: I am going to a party tonight wearing a dress from last year (£7 for cleaning instead of the usual new dress), am about to attempt to put my own hair up (bit worried about this but didn't want to pay the £25 the hairdresser charges) - and wearing my lovely, bargain, shoe boots I bought the other week :D

    Maybe the message is getting through :rolleyes: When I got my gold cheque yesterday I didn't consider doing anything except pay it off debt :D

    Shoe Gal, you're doing so well! You don't need a new frock or hairdresser to look fab. I'm going to my Xmas do in 2 weeks wearing last years frock and different leggings and I'll still feel fabby. Hope you have an ace night and you're an inspiration.X
