    Ugh Souk, that's a bit grim on a saturday - hope it goes quickly for you.

    Eco - sorry to hear you're having a bad time, if you need support you know we're all here for you :grouphug:

    Hi shawtj - sorry to hear your Dad's so ill :grouphug:. Your window cleaner sounds very handy. Dont know much about your car, will have to investigate, there's a motoring thread on here somewhere ...



    I can declare that the Jacaranda wine is safe to drink :jI must learn to stick with the same variety of grape, rather than keep trying new ones.

    As to Oxfam ... I'm a giver not a taker MoneyFritter ;)

    I can declare that Morrisons cava at £4.49 and 2 jam doughnuts reduced to 9p are a very nice combination.:D And I got 2 x £2 coins in my change for the pot:j

    Thanks everyone, I'm ok and I hope things do happen in three's cos I should have had my lot for this year.
    Never worked a night shift so hope Souk's ok, my mum was a nightmare on them, I used to think she had alzhiemers, you'd tell her something 3 times before she got it, I started thinking I was the one who was mad, I am a bit tho.

    Lula - sorry to be so mean but I agree with Sarah. You have stated that your aim this year is to clear your debts and you are working really hard with two jobs and it is a shame to be working so hard and then spend the money and then end up in same position at the end of 2010 as it was in 2009.

    Once you've cleared your debts you will be able to buy boots and shoes with no indecision at all!! :j:j
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Yes you did, meanie :p

    Anyway you will be delighted to hear that I have just drained my ISA down to £10 & paid £100 to sodding Barclaycard ... total debt now £4948.03 - interest just gone on, so less impressive than I hoped, but I suppose better than if I had just spent £102 on new boots & sunglasses ... *vows to find a way to get those boots*

    Now going to drain another glass & rue the day I ever joined this thread :D
