    Flower - it's interest free so i've always considered it's not debt. However, FINALLY my attitude is it still has to be paid off!!!! We paid off our debts that had interest when we sold my car 18 months ago. The 0% just kept getting transferred to other 0%. It feels like a millstone. I'd like to pay that off then have a 'caravan fund' signature and finally grow up and save for it before I buy.....like I said, being sensible is poo!:rotfl: xx
  • Hi,

    Hope everyone's well. Since my last post I collected the tv with my mate, took photos of her new maisonette for her (she's not got a camera) & made the bed. Goodnight!

    Just popping in to say goodnight.....spent most of my evening on sofa watching Wallace & Grommit with ds3 who's cough and cold got a lot worse at school today. He said he spent the afternoon in the sick room, but no-one phoned me....seems strange, especially considering he has autism and the school knows I'm always happy to appear if there is a problem. I guess when he goes back to school I will investigate this further!

    Triker ~ Your tooth problem sounds horrible, I agree with everyone who suggests getting in touch with the dentist again....hope you get some relief from it tonight.

    Soappie ~ Sorry to hear about your job....my eldest son has just been told his job will end on Feb 14th ( romantic!)

    And to everyone feeling low or ill, hope you ( and I ) are much better tomorrow.

    OH has helped me find a flower - I really am a dinosaur:rotfl:

    Off to bed soon as I have a raging migraine - hope it shifts before the morning.

    Managed to keep up with the tasks - did most of it yesterday so was able to concentrate on sorting out tea (corned beef and potato bake). There are leftovers too so I may take that to work for lunch.

    Hugs to those in need -see you all tomorrow.
