    Yes that's the way to look at it as you've achieved loads.Dealing with debt alone is very stressful and tiring let alone all the other stuff.


    You are so right there Taxi, it is incredibly stressful and my shoulders feel it this week. Which is why I might take all of next week off instead of going back on Wednesday because I get paid on Friday and therefore will be in a great mood the following week :D

    My aunt, who is on a DMP, is a great shoulder to cry on. She, like my dear friends on here, doesn't judge but just shuffles me along on this long long road to freedom! (LOL I feel like Nelson Mandela)

    Think it's a good idea to have the extra couple of days off and things will get easier honestly.

    Not that I am known for giving him too many complements, but I think he does. He works incredibly hard and I think he thinks if he works harder and harder the debts will clear, yeah thru me getting his life assurance!

    Not an ideal soloution!

    At least he's trying! Although as you say, you need him to be around to enjoy the time when you no longer have to worry about debts!

    I lost my watch yesterday when I was out. Only realised it was gone at 11pm last night.

    Just rang M&S - no sign. DH bought it for me for Xmas a few years ago, and it was expensive (£300)

    I love my watch and I guess it has goners now. Damn

    On a good note, no bounced chq's!

    Bummer about the watch...but maybe it will turn up. I'm terrible for putting things down, not being able to find them, then them turning up a while later! Perhaps you've done a Pickle. ;) Hope it turns up.

    Yay to no bounced cheques! :D

    Ta Ta Pickle.

    Unfortunately I remember looking at it in the car on the way to Belfast.

    Will have to put it thru' the insurance if its gonners. Although lady in M&S did say it sometimes takes a few days to get to lost property - so fingers crossed.

    I have done an extreme thing!

    I have removed the valance sheet that goes over the base of our bed and WASHED it.

    This is something I have only done a couple of times (in 3 years) so I am anxious, trying new things is always scary!
