    Sea pops up on FB from time to time. She has been suffering from bronchitis which doesn't seem to want to shift, but otherwise I think she is ok.

    Thanks for looking out for me Chev :)

    Well, the year slips by so quickly!! The man didn't work out - bit of a protracted ending which is a little bit of a headache, but hopefully it's coming to an end now!

    Debt wise? Not been hammering it much at all!!! Lots of things happened - HUGE gas bill that had to be paid :eek:and days out at easter:o

    In the swing of flylady decluttering - I swear I have NO idea just how much stuff ended up in my house!! I get rid of bin bags of stuff every week (literally) and yet still there is more to go...no wonder I got in debt so much and even now with debt clearing and no new debt, there is so much stuff!

    Been feeling good about sorting the house until the cat started spraying. And spraying big time. Got a cat flap sorted and I think a few strays might have come in at the beginning but not anymore (and I've bought a new cat flap with the magnet thingy but it's too big for the hole that's been cut for the other one lol and I need to get a saw!).
    I've been bleach mopping and keeping doors shut but the little !!!!!! keeps on doing it, although less than he was. It's very demoralising, and I burst into huge sobs when I found he'd sprayed on my scrapbooks (although thankfully just on the plastic covered one - amazingly). :( I'm trying to be nice to him and reassuring etc, but it's very hard right now.

    Got some extra exam marking which should bring in about 600 quid, although not sure how much of it will actually go to debt as it'll come for the summer holidays...I would love to take the kids somewhere!

    Anyway, rambled on...

    Hope all are very well and happy

    Thanks for the update Sea :)

    Just had a look round the cupboards- could do with a grocery challenge this month I think! Make sure I use the stuff I have - the amount thrown away is not good at all...going to have a mooch on old style....
