    Sal, finances are a disaster because I have just had to confess on my diary to a credit card bill of £1250, which there is no way I can pay. I can get it down to about £500, and there are reasons it is so high, but I can't afford to let things slide like that.

    My 'proper' savings can't be touched because I intend to buy Stu out of this house at some point in the next 3 years, and can't afford to just borrow more on the mortgage to do that, so really need to save approx £10k :eek: (my plan is to offer him £18k - have £3k already, and need to find £10k and then would borrow the final £5k on the mortgage, which would mean I could still afford the repayments).

  • random post of the day - I have an Edward Woodward signed photo and also a signed Professionals call sheet and all the logistical paperwork (risk assessment, equipment needed etc) for a days filming - each page individually signed by him - even maps of where they were filming that day, somewhere called Chalgrove airfield signed. I was given it years ago after a celebrity auction fell through and all the stuff was left unused.

    I also had 2 Ready Steady Cook aprons given by the show but doubted the future value of them so used them :rotfl:

    I'm good thanks - I agree about the housework though, starting to wonder if I should sell one of the kids to pay for a cleaner! :rotfl:

    Chloe is full of the sniffles too, she also has chapped lips.

    I have bought her the new tinkerbell movie though cos she was a good girl at the weekend (she was scared of the fighting) and she is watching it having a good sniff.

    Luc - the job app sounds good...

    Sally - you have done extremely well so far with the money in quite a dire situation.

    I have a sore throat.......

    BB, sounds ghoulish but it's probably a good time to sell now?

    Cat, anyone coming to your house knows you have a small child and wont expect it to be pristine, so don't go too mad!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
