    Hi IM ...nice to see you Hun.:hello:

    Hi Everyone :hello:...OMG this thread moves along soooo quickly !! LOL its a wonder any of you have time to drink !!! I frequent a few other boards & got a bit dizzy tonight!

    Well AF today....had a can of RedBull as I needed something fizzy & just about to settle with a chamomile tea.

    I am a nightowl too as suffer insomnia so likely to wander in when everyone else has long gone off to bed .

    Btw....no `target` for me....its all or nothing. If I have even a sip then I go straight back to old ways...I know what I`m like. :mad::mad:

    Still...my first fiver in the pot of savings.:D:D very pleased too.

    Molly , What do you do in your employed Job. I am assuming the accounts work is the self-employed ???.

    How is Padding the tax man going ??;)

    40SM:D

    Hi 40SM....Yes accounts work is self-employed and I work Part-time in the print room in a warehouse.This is quite a nice job and I get to see people.(which I don't do when stuck at my desk all day).It's pretty easy too but takes my mind off debt worries etc:o

    I have paid the tax man a bit every day since you suggested it.As you say ...every little helps but I've got a long way to go.I have some shares which I can cash in in December and just hope the taxman can wait for most of his money until then....although I doubt it.:cool:

    Hope you are ok and still making the payments:rolleyes::D

    Take care of you
    Love Mollypollyxxxx
