    No, my debt is all credit card debt - I rent :o

    Hiya, I'm back wasn't going to log back on tonight but I feel more positive now, maybe it's cos I don't have to go to work, but anyway I'm sorry for earlier I sounded like a whinger, and Buffy's right a bit of bad news and all the good stuff goes out the window, so onwards and upwards and all that, going to have a good weekend and a lie in tomorrow, enjoy your days whatever your doing.

    Glad you are feeling positive.

    A lie in sounds good, a decent nights sleep helps. Which is to say I should also get to bed and stop mucking about on the laptop as I have to get up for spinning tomorrow morning.

    Oh well, 2 more days then the weekend and it can't come soon enough!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Hello all:)

    eco, really sorry to hear your bad news:( hope you are okay.

    I should also stop messing about on the laptop and get to sleep, am v tired and looking forward to my lie in at the weekend. Have been looking at flats to rent, there are some lovely ones in my price range but I want to get everything paid off first so am on a mission. :D I could do it now at a squeeze but I don't want to end up in a situation where I have a massive car bill again and struggle to get everything paid. However, that may change if the MN starts up again. icon8.gif

    Not much to report on the debt busting front, have done a survey for £3 and won £2 on the lottery, put a couple more items on ebay, made an overpayment to cc (my aim is to clear it by Christmas) and posted my last 2 items from the weekend. It all adds up:)

    Hope everyone has had a good day, Tracey I hope you are feeling a little better now and managed to get to the doctors.
