    I love the CCCS...have re-jiged the old budget..might be able to eat next month after all! He also made me feel better when he said our debt was very tiny 4.5k compared to the 98% of people he has dealt with. Well I did point out that actually 3 years ago that was at 36K :eek:

    Sally that is AMAZING!! I never realised! You must be well proud about it!

    I don't mind if it snows on Christmas day, but the thought of being able to sit here, fire lit, christmas lights on and snow falling outside the window is just far to exciting.

    I'm so easily pleased. ;)

    I think we were separated at birth....that would be my ideal day, but throwing in a nice walk in the snow too

    Thanks Bunny. Fingers crossed.
    Sally - come and sort out my debt. Lots of it to go at.
    Just been to Amanda's for a drink. She is all organised and all presents wrapped. I should wrap my bits I guess.
    I WILL NOT let this get to me. I WILL make the most of this year. :rotfl:

    Yes I guess I must be, just wished I had learnt the first time around though Buffy. We had around £30k of debt in 2001 and sold our house to pay it all off, typically didn't really deal with it and that soon mounted again :rolleyes:
    Just think I could have a huge savings pot of 66k for a nice house deposit :( but I guess I did get 2 years of not working and being at home with B which to me was priceless!
