    Start a new thread, or if you wanted you could look at blogspot ( do a google!)

    Ok, todays update is
    1) about to go out & post the book
    2) do have enough cash on my egg card - so my debt will go up in my sig later today, to cover for the money claim - ah well, gotta be done!

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • Hey Lynz,

    Don't worry, you didn't steal my thunder and thanks so much for your post on my thread.

    I've been thinking a lot about your over the past 24 hours and am so glad that you have made a decision to sell up - it really sounds like the best idea there is. I hope that you are not feeling too rough - and don't push yourself too hard - how about having a couple of days just to recharge and not do any MSE or O/S stuff but stay in the mindset (can you tell this is how I am feeling too?)

    Sorry - I didn't mean to make this post about me - I just wanted to give you my love and support. You really are a big help to this board and an inspiration.

    Love

    Cheers SS

    Personally, Ive done my crying for now. Besides theres nothing cr==er than looking at yourself in the mirror after youve been crying, going not only do my clothes look like rags, but I look like a dog as well.

    Cos Im not at work for a few days, i thought well I'll get what i need to do done, and then i wont feel like things are sliding. However, this weekend we are going to a wedding in a lovely place, rooms being paid for by my very generous parents, and the hotel is superposh and has a spa/sauna/ swim/ gym etc so dont you worry I'll make the most of that. So that will be gorgeous. We cant wait. And best of all were not paying for it :money: :D

    you are truly and inspiring poster. you've done amazingly wells since you've had your lightbulb moment. we all have our little slips, but seems even then you've gotten up from that rather quickly.

    it's great to read your story. shows that becoming debt free is very achieveable once you're ready to put in some work.

    sorry you've had bad health news, but you've got an indomitable spirit which is what matters the most. continue to be a shining light.

    Heres a tip lol check your accounts regualrly. I havent been checking my rent & bills account as it just "ticks over" but of course this hasnt happened, as screenselect chose to charge me even though I cancelled in the free period, and thus my account went over drawn incurring 30.00 of charges. Of course I'll be asking for these back, but grr, it means Im going to have to find a further 30 quid from somewhere to top the account up in the interim.
    Damn!

    Really pleased to see that you have a lovely w/e planned (dead jealous of the spa bit...get some bubbles for me in a glass & the jacuzzi!)...look at how much you've achieved in such a short time and no wonder you feel so pooped, regardless of health issues on top! Just keep on plugging away at whats left & it will be done as soon as you know it, esp when you sell the flat! Big hugs & go easy/be gentle on yourself!

    Hey lynz....you sound like you are in an "up and at 'em" frame of mind today. Good one.

    I was reading through your "What I have done so far" (since March!) and it just kept going...and going....and going...

    Superb.

    I so pleased you are going away to a posh hotel with all those facilities. You'd just better make the most of it! Criminal if you don't. ;)

    Hello Lynz, just to say I'm glad you are sorting things out and I hope you enjoy the wedding at the weekend. Look after yourself, in fact, pamper yourself and dont let anything stress you out. Love tes.
