    Yes, Peefer has arrived!!!!!!!:j :j :j :j

    He has had his first 'meal' and is settling in nicely on top of the bookcase, where the car keys go so he will not get ignored.

    He looks like he will take a lot of feeding, so have decided he will get fed every time I come in, how much will depend on the 'scraps' the nice people in the shops give me for him.

    DS has agreed to feed occasionally as well, but is trying to negotiate rent for the part of the house he will then owe! Which is fine, as long as he pays rent for the bit I owe!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Great start to the weekend!

    G'night from someone who needs to get out more (if only to collect more food for Peefer!!!)

  • Night - hope peefer becomes a right porker!
  • Well finally got above the £400 mark, was hoping to match last months but it hasn't gone too well this month!
    I think the most I will get to is £600 oh well maybe I can make up ground over the next couple of months. Trying to be clear in 5 years, thats all i keep thinking of!
  • Well forget the last past (Not the bugle one - the one above!)
    I sold some some I'd advertised - forgotten about the advert so now I have racked some more up on my total!, now nearly £700, just trying to squeeze another £42 from somewhere and I've reached my target. Only a few days left to do it, not quite sure where I can get this from - hope theres another advert I've forgotten about!

    Thankyou aliasojo/ HQ for this thread, I've been watching for a while now and tonight I decided to get off my backside and do something, so I have contacted lender and increased direct debit by 127.00 a month. It's a start.....if I didn't do it this way I know I would spend the money in other ways and I want to be "mortgage free........"
