    SOA of debt now :D:j£21653:D:jannotations in purple for changes since the diary hurrah
    Its looking a bit better having paid off some things so much more with extra money this past couple months - but its still pretty bad when I consider our 'actual income'

    On the whole though its perked up with all your help and the constant vigilence with extra payments - meal planning and of course great advice about overpaying on here :D

    :D:D:D:DTake a bow people and thanks v much :D:D:D:D

    I am too impatient to do a 6month review so I did a six week one instead to spurn myself on for the next few months.

    I also now own micro-fibre clothes - hurrah to polished glowing stainless steel:D:D


    Good times..nice to see it all coming down, six week motivation is obviously working.:beer:

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    sorry to hear the news Unix, having been made redundant before i can sympthise with the feelings you're going through.

    glad i'm not the only one wound up at the moment, just got an email from a numpty at work who asked an obvious question, got the obvious reply and is now disgruntled that i sent an email with a 'sardonic undertone'. plonker!!! not sure why it's bothering me though, guess i'm just the type that stews over these things.

    Oh no
    Penguin boy is my exexexexexexex breathes ex - of ??10 years on and off and on and currently off again

    OH is aware of penguin boy and has be subjected to his on/off ness a couple of times and OH's patience quite rightly whilst there is growing thin with Penguin chops.

    My brain on the other hand is wired stupidly and hasn't got probably wont get over penguin chops ever - whilst I am realistic and OH understands - penguin chops is a bone of constant contention.

    So cue penguin chops being stupid and me feeling carp and life just chugging along as it always does.

    One of the dogs is penguin chop's dog - and all of his worldly belongings including his ex fiance (me) and his ex stuff and his ex life live in our house I take the occasional fit and put stuff on ebay but the whole of his life is pretty much still with us - except him.

    He's back next April - by which time I hope I have discovered a way to get to pluto cos currenlty 8,000 miles clearly isn't enough.
