    Mmm I love spag bol, with a nice glass of red wine!

    Thanks for your kind comments Happy, men are weird there's no doubt about that!

    Your cracking on with the DIY then, is your dad quite handy then?

    Looking forward to a night of soaps, Emmerdale & Eastenders are actually quite exciting at the moment, plus my favourite Home & Away is back on!

    Have to paint my nails tonight for night out tomorrow and it always takes me 3 goes as I make such a hash of it!

  • Hi happy just read your diary . I'm a fellow number cruncher - I live for the days when my direct debits go out so I can re calculate my debt but then its bittersweet because it never seems to go much lower . I always build the recalculating moment up but its always a big anti climax ! I too live in constant turmoil over sorting my run down house out or concentrating on hammering the debt . One day I go for sorting the house the next minute I'm scared stiff and consumed with guilt about the debt ! I also feel sooo broody and would love a baby but have very romantic ideas about bringing my baby into the ideal world so I feel I must wait until I'm debt free but then some days I think I can't ! I also want the dream house . It feels like everything is on hold doesn't it ! Well done for how much debt you've cleared already. Me and my hubby have a bottle of champagne waiting for our df moment but I keep joking that it will have gone off by then !x
  • Hi bookwormlou :-) nice to meet you. Yes that constant battle does wear you thin it's so undecisive so draining yet all need attention :-). I have decided that direct debits are te way for me that way I'm not relying on myself to overpay. I have manage to balance things with house diy but it all takes time and just lately I want lots of things yesterday and it can make you feel the strain of high numbers grrrr. I don't know how I got in this silly mess some times I can not meausre it up :-/. Anyway onwards and upwards good times :-) x
