    Teddy - He has now formed an alliance with the Pooh and Angus the Monkey. This is very much a tactical move. They have all taken up a position in the middle of the bed making it difficult for OH and I to get anywhere near. Just a bit afraid that they now join forces with the bedsheet alliance. If that happens we will loose our bed completely.

    It could be worse over the weekend as I am working nights from tomorrow and OH is going away for 3 nights to Barcelona.

    Have to deal with this alliance on my own. Hopefully they don't work out where the Jam and Honey are!

    Just really scared myself. Looked on whatsthecost, if i carry on paying £150 per month towards the debts - like i am now, i wont be debt free until Dec 2011. Thats pretty scary considering its not a vast amount of debt!! Really need to get that date changed!

    Well that was a much better journey, made it in an hour! Walked up to bakerloo like and was empty, very strange, wonder if people know its running.

    Flower - i am sure you will be able to bump those payments up at some point, so will get quicker!

    Once we move in with OHs parents we should be able to dramatically increase our payments, so hopefully will move that date forward alot!!

    That's good news Wendz!

    Oh dear Poolie, sounds like you've got some bad bears on your hands, I think you'd be right to hide the jam and honey. Lets just hope your OH doesn't bring another one home from her weekend away.

    Been speaking with my parents and got it sorted for paying them back. My mum is wanting to get some things from HMV so might be using the last pennys on my gift card and knocking that off what I owe them. Which would be nice! Can't believe how much it's totalled up too, just them lending me money for things here and there. Thinking of transfering £350 for OHs laptop to my parents account after July, seeing how it isn't really my money. Just beefing up my savings total really.

    Flower - I was going to say, once you move into your OHs parents you'll be debtfree in no time!
