    i love jaffa cakes. mmmmmmm

    saving - that is pants. i can't believe that after all that one of them was an idiot. it obviously wasn't the job you are meant to have.

    PAID - as cafc very well said you kick assetts. that is excellent. well done you.

    i'm not a big fan of camping. i mean what do you do with the tent when you go out for the day?? do you leave it there with all your stuff in?? does no one break into it?? is that a stupid question?? i've never really been camping before except for the reading festival years ago when i was young *sigh*

    tirl - sorry you're feeling pants. it's hard isn't it. i'm feeling like that at the moment too. maybe it's cos winter is coming in.

    Hi thanks for the support guys!

    PAID well done for negotiating - you will have that debt kicked into touch in no time!

    Have you all seen Shelley's sig - she now has 25% deposit saved up - amazing!

    For anyone else who feels as low as me.... well it can only get better.... can't it? Please tell us that it can only go up from here!

    Oh well - signed up to belly dancing today so that will give me a positive thing to look forward to. I am completely unfit but believe it or not it gives you quite a work out.... I already have a coin belt lol someone brought me one back from holiday once!

    I have also started planning Christmas and birthdays between now and then. I have 21 people/events to buy for - and have 5 pressies already so that is something at least.... I would like to get all the kids pressies sorted... if adults don't end up with a pressie at least they should understand.....

    21 people/events?? that sounds a lot. birthday wise we've only got my sis, DH and DD left before christmas. although i'm sure DD will get spoilt. can't believe she's nearly 2 already. doesn't time fly!

    belly dancing? that sounds fab. would never do it myself cos i'd be afraid once i wiggle my belly it would never stop :eek:
