Olive Oyls 12-month Countdown

OliveOyl_2

I've had to edit my cash challenge I will still use my cc for cat food and petrol purchases but it is working
And I've joined the NSD challenge again, but this time put it in my signature because I totally lost count in October (I'm sure I achieved my target :whistle:)

Funny how the introduction of challenges in my life has permeated other parts, I'm habitually setting myself challenges all over the place (work, my drinking habits, my health habits) MSE has a lot to answer for :rotfl:

And I'm Bingo playing everymorning (I see other MSEers in there too :rotfl:) I'm currently making a profit of about £15, but I haven't had a win since Friday

What's your username on there, Olive? I'm Vall..... got to 1tg, amid some mutual ribbing with Double!

OliveOyl_2

I'm a bit boring really I'm 0live0yl :rotfl:
I don't go "into" a chat room, so will I show up?
As far as I can see I'm top of the list though

Karmacat

I've never gone in, either - they get you eventually tho - and once the woman who runs the place started mentioning me by name, I thought I'd better respond and take part, as camouflage!

I must be the only one who hasn't migrated their name on here to all the bingo sites. But I *like* the name Karmacat too much to do that.... am I sad or what

OliveOyl_2

I like your user name too KC, and it seems to suit you.

Whereas OO is far from me, I was just trying to associate myself with DS1 and OH who are, or dreamed of, sea-faring :rotfl: Physically I'm nothing like her

Karmacat

Thanks Olive, thats a really nice thing to say!

Morning :hello:
KC lots of peeps on the DFW board are nice peeps, (I'm always astounded when I come across more "robust" discussions elsewhere :rotfl:) and you, in my experience, are one of the tops :A

I'm in a quandary, yesterday I spent 10p on a coffee (forgot my purse and found 10 in the bottom of my bag from loot in the vending machine) so I owe 10p still. DOES THAT COUNT AS A NSD???? :rotfl::rotfl:

Today I've bought the Remoska into the office, FK is bringing potatoes and we're having them baked for our lunch :j:j (bring your own filling ) Lodger had left a small bit of "luxury butter with crushed sea salt" and I have grated the last of the cheese. I'm SO looking forward to it :rotfl:an almost free lunch

HI OO
SO NICE TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN.....:j

WE HAVE BEEN LIVING THAT MISERABLE LIFE NOW FOR 14MONTHS,,,,HOPEFULLY ONLY ANOTHER 4/6 MONTH TO GO,,,,,

EVEN WITH ALL THE MSE ING,,,I HAVE STILL USED 1K OF SAVINGS IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS,,,HOW EVER,, NO DEBTS HAVE BEEN BUILT UP:j

CAN THINK OF A NUMBER OF TIMES IN MY LIFE WHEN GOING BACK TO WORK WAS HARD ,,,AS IT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO CLEAR THE DEBT FROM BEING UNEMPLOYED:o

SO FOR ME HUGH STRIDES HAVE BEEN MADE BY BEING WITH,,,
THE NUT CASES ON MSE :rolleyes::o:o

Two positive messages there Shaun - you have an end in sight (me too :j:j) and you aint never going to go there again (me too:j:j)

We may need to spend our savings next year if I give up work, but we didn't have that as an option 2 years ago.
And in the last 3 years we will have paid off £46,000, imagine if we'd have saved at that rate, we'd have EARNED interest instead of paying it!

Does that make us nutcases? :beer:

Me too, Shaun - tho in my case I have to use savings because my business is failing, I used to bring in twice what I'm earning now.

I have an end in sight because of selling the house and buying in a cheaper town (tho still a v nice town). And of course getting my act together to do the trading.....

Does that make us nutcases? :beer:

:rotfl:In general, yes!
