I had my half price fruit wines delivered today from John Lewis - 2 bottles of Mead, 2 bottles of Cranberry wine and a load of mini bottles of different flavours

Pity OH won't be bothered about having much fun and sharing it with me I just feel in the need for a bit of a laugh and a wine tasting evening!

Evening,
Kids are making a glorious mess with 'arts and crafts' stuff and we're waiting for a Chinese (yum)

Finally got DS uniform for school sorted (phew) and now, I don't plan on doing a great deal for 3 days!

Hope everyone has a nice evening whatever you are doing.

Happy New Year to one & all on this wonderful site. I`m so glad that i found you all, you have all helped me greatly (without probably knowing it cus i`m a bit of a lurker) & i`m slowly but surely on the long road to becoming debt free!
Woo Hoo its such a lovely feeling!!!

I'm debt free.:j_party_:dance: I can't believe it. Our last debt was on 0% so I was tempted to let it run on into January, but my OH fancied finishing the year and finishing our debts, and I kept looking at the "how much we've all paid off" thread and wanting to put a nice no. on it. So, we have just been into our joint account, checked carefully and made an extra payment.

This year we've paid £6,901.43 off our debts. I feel almost drunk with joy:beer:

Unfortunately I am thinking of doing a masters degree, so could take out a career development loan in 2010, and may have to pay at least £800 if I fail my dissertation and need to redo it. but that will be temporary and manageable debt. We are going to have savings, ISAs, mortgage overpayments (but not all straightaway!). Wooo hooo.

Thanks so much to everyone for inspiring me to overcome my fear of bank statements and thinking about money. We have shaved 6 months off our DFD in the last 3-4 months. I have lots left to do, like defeat the supermarkets that steal my money and get the hang of meal planning, to build on and sustain our position.

We are going to visit a friend for NYE, then I will need to be back to my books to try and save £800+ by writing a dissertation for 5 Jan that gets enough marks to get referred for a resubmission.

Huge hugs to everyone and best wishes for your DF journeys.
