    Hi Blondie.

    I am also a big cat fan.

    MY OH is rather like a golden retriever: Always happy, but eats me out of house and home, and needs to be kept occupied, or he starts chewing the table legs.

    I don't have any current threads. I live right out in the country in Yorkshire in a big old rented house. My OH and me are newly married - he is 15 years younger than me. We don't have any kids. I have considered ebaying him, but will try and get another job first! When we got married, we both had good jobs and the debts were no big deal. My contract wasn't renewed so now the debts are a problem. Our own fault, but I had no idea I wouldn't get another contract. Have a good day :)
  • Thanks Palema and phillipsdj!! :j :j :j :j

    Rosered - i'd love to one day move to the countryside...live in a big house and go for walks...maybe even take the cat for a walk!! (you can buy cat buggies in Pets at Home which is like a pram but for cats!!)
    Your OH is 15 years younger, that must mean your a bit of a sexy minx then!! I look about 15 years OLDER..and feel about 20 years older.... :rolleyes:

    Note to self - must start taking tips of Rosered on how to look younger and how to look like a sexy minx...:D

  • Thanks very much!!! *goes all shy*:o

    After all that good news i was just WAITING for something to go wrong, which it did...i bust the microwave!! LOL:rotfl: I was cooking a jacket potato for 20mins and didnt realise i had left all my huge pile of bills over the vent cover....so it went...BANG!!!!:eek: Now no microwave...cant wait to see what the OH has to say about that one.....oh oh...

    So what are we all up to tonite? Im going to practice for my interview tomorrow and have a relaxing one in front of the tv...dont know if anything good is on??

    I went to the Post Office today, oh the joy it brings to my life. I had some lady tapping her foot the entire time i was sorting my parcels..i was tempted to stamp on her foot to shut her up.

    Its the OH's birthday next week and i have been thinking about taking him to the theatre (cheapest tickets available) has anyone seen anything good? Last time i went i saw Wicked, which was great but need to take him to see something else if its his birthday pressie...was thinking maybe Thriller or West Side Story... Mind you he'd be lucky to even get a punch for his birthday if he EVER decides to come home!! Its so hard to try and work on a relationship when i never see him! Mind you stops us arguing about the bills i suppose...:rolleyes:

    I was earlier about what it would actually be like to be 'debt free' and have only my mortgage to pay for...It seems like a dream come true. I so wish id never ever got that first credit card, i promised myself it would only be for 'emergencies' YEAH RIGHT!

    I never want to get credit on anything again in my life. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I wont do it. Its just not worth the heart ache /heart attack you get from the stress.

    Are any of you in a DMP? Ive thought about it but havent really decided. It entices me in the sense that i will actually be able to pay everything everymonth and know when it would be over, but from the threads from others its a really long and stressful process to go through.

    Just think one day 'debt free' might actually happen. Too exciting for words. Id even dance naked round the garden with joy! Maybe through the street...(if someone actually offered to wipe out my debt to do that id do it. i actually would!!):D :rotfl:

    Anyways sorry for the long post!!!!

    Hope your all ok and had a MSE day..
