    Never ever forget where you would have been if you had not had your LBM - and think of all that interest you have saved!

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

    All i have to do now is get meat and veg! Dh had 2 lovely overtime shifts cancelled cause of bad weather boo! They would have been lovely but i cant stress over that its out of my control and would have been extra i learnt a long time ago not to rely on overtime!!

    Hi BTD

    I always keep a stock cupboard in after years of living with my gran in the middle of nowhere it became a habit, even if it is just soup beans and pasta and some cereal you could get a good base of stock for £5.
    It is rare that you cant get to the shop but when we got this round of heavy snow when i got to the shops there was nothing left on the shelves looked like it had been raided.
    MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
    EST DFD JAN 2021 (that needs to change)
    NOW JAN 2019 (that still needs to change)
  • Great News Tesco just rang and i spoke to a lovely guy and we are not going to recoveries and no default will be issued:j.

  • Plodding along BTD, needing to get finances in order for Dec and it's already the 12th - I am very late this month.

    Lucielle announced the other day how much she had paid in 2010 and I think I will do the same - just to motivate me for 2011. And then I will make some pledges of what I want to achieve in the coming months.

    Glad you will get a chance to do Xmas shop on Friday, shouldn't be too crazy then. We are going to my parents, defrosted the freezer yesterday and think we have enough to see us thru til then so thankfully no 'big shop' for me!
