This is Scotland - it will probably be snowing next Spring!! Anyway will be heading to Oz and I ain't paying to ship a bbq to the land of big and beautiful barbies!!!
Also, the sofa is the one we bought off Ebay (£40) for the attic conversion. Turns out its bigger than I thought and we can't get it up the stairs - therefore sold to the neighbour for £40 - nothing lost!!!:jLBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

I'm super excited - just walked around Tesco with a huge cheesy grin.
You are doing so well - its a challenge when you are left in charge of the finances. I take charge of ours - but only because my hubby needs major prompting. I'd still be encouraging him to take the first step 2 years later!!!!!
Never mind, I'm a better letter writer anyway:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Picked my lovely son up from school - doing homework now.
Have a lovely big pot of soup on the go and life is good. Vino chilling in the fridge.
Hubby will be back to take Cole to tae kwon do and I'll have an hour of peace perfect peace for a shower and a glass of vino. Then dinner up and a nice little gloat with the family about our future. Good times.
