    I need to get a new calculator as I cannot find it anywhere....I can't wait to do a budget to see how little...the bills will be.
    The camera is a really expensive one but am hoping to take a photography course....and it also does videos...and of course it will be very useful for our many holidays that we will be having in the next few years.
    The quote...I found on another site and it seemed very apt....seize the day.

    I am now free of a lot of worry and have every intention of looking after me...my job for a while will be getting well and fit and healthy.I am not trying hard to lose weight just now but am hoping with sensible eating and a bit of exercise that it will start to drop.

    Todays calories..don't count...lol

    My original plan was when we got debt free we would go out for a meal and have a bottle of champagne...haven't got the energy.
    Never mind ...it will be hell of a party when I get rid of the mortgage in the next couple of years.

    You can celebrate in a few days when it has 'sunk in', so to speak, if you prefer...it doesn't sound as if you have had the chance to do anything but the necessary today. But do whatever you want...I'm just the type who likes any excuse for a party! ;)

    *EDIT*

    *Pokes Taxi in the side* Oi! I've just been over to the 'pay £20K in a year thread and you haven't been over to tell them your good news. Nip over now...they are waiting! *Gives Taxi a little push out of her thread*

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
