The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Lol I just read that and thought 'oh, NIM didn't tell me the other guy was naked!'. That'd be quite something if you were in a car accident and the person got out the other car in his birthday suit!

LOL @ Dinah! You are daft!
How about a DOTD to cheer us up?

Cinny91

The first DOTD for the new thread! I like that one from the front, not too keen on the back (mainly the diamond shaped gap more than anything) Very pretty!

Glad to hear NIMs okay Dinah, it could of been worse so I wouldn't stress too much on the money front. You can't help these things really!

Right, back off to the office corner to wrap more ebay parcels! Lucky me!

Love that DOTD. Especially the back actually! Just needs little shoulder straps though...

wow eeee dinah what a wonderful read your first post is so mills and boons :P i am 25 and in a mountain of debt with my partner but we work hard and try are damdest to clear it and your thread has given me the positive bump ive been needing a little hard work goes along way.... i really wish we could move back to my mum and dads but we would have to sell our home and make enough to clear the homeowner loan so not an option, however our mortgae is fixed and 500 per month so i feel its ok i guess its just the water gas and electricity we could save on i guess but life is life i will be somewhere better in augusy because il be a married lady and then there after that my next celbration will be debt free woo hoo i cant wait, ive yet to clear a credit card which is the aim before the wedding so i can close it and have a likkle dance of excitement. Its a hard task finding the balance between living and paying bills and getting debt free and it can really take its toll so it helps when you have 2 people in the battle togetehr so all the best and i look firward to reading your thread and keeping updated with your positive journey x

Huge congrats on your wedding, I've managed to amass at least two happy wedding planning people on here, so it's a bit upbeat in here. As for me I bungled that up, but would be nice to think I have it to look forward to at some point (nothing to look forward to now my 'get debt free' goal has been hit!)

End of the day so long as your incomings are more than your outgoings, there is no price to be put on having your own space with your OH to be yourselves. Really can't wait for that day.

Re the claim thing, that's rubbish! The police don't have to attend, and the person that was hit can claim off your insurance. Re the ownership thing, how long has he had the car? x

Dinah, shall I take NIM aside and have a word with him on Saturday?!

Oooh, speaking of Saturday; it is the May Fair in Northallerton i.e. the gyppos appear en masse and fill the highstreet with fairground rides so parking may be a problem, might be a good idea to give yourself extra time to get parked!

He's had it about 2 months, bought it off my mum, she couldn't find that little bit of paper for ages, however he does have a receipt off my dad for when he bought it.

Oooh fair! Actually that should be ewwww fair, when NIM and I went to the one at Yarm last year I nearly died on the waltzer, thought my insides were going to burst!
