Thats another fine mess I got myself into

REDMADCURLS

Yeah remember I said I was going to change the world when I was off.............................well at least the bedrooms are cleared (to the eye anyway) and only one other major site of chaos to go - the dreaded cupboard under the stairs and then we are done with the major clearout of junk!

Now, after 5 years, most things have a place. Dont get me wrong, we could still fill a skip with DH's hoarding but it is now so much more manageable and I can now locate most things in the house!

Outside we need to decant two sheds into one but thats not a major job as I emptied the crap out of one last year (and he still hasn't noticed)

So ebay heaven tomorrow! Such joy!

Going to watch recorded celebrity master chef in a while I think!

Will just pop over and see how your day went.

Excellent result on the decluttering there Red, even if lots of it IS finding its way back into the house on the pretence of ebaying :rotfl:

Funny you should ask about critical illness cover. I have cancelled all but that since we got accepted for our decreasing term assurance. That in itself has saved £100. Not one person I have discussed it with says cancel. And sadly, the perils of such illnesses came to great us here at MSE too, so I think the 'universe' is answering my question for me. The policy stays!

Bless you for reading it all, I should go back and do the same!

It sure doesn't feel like a journey more like a blindfolded trek into the amazon wearing snow boots and carrying an ice pick!

Admiration - nah I don't deserve that, but thanks anyway for vote of confidence.

Me - a fighter - just call me Red or Dead!:rotfl:

Off to bed to watch Mad Men - fantastic show - highly recommend it!

Brunch visitors tomorrow - strange time to call I know! (They are staying nearby tonight and calling on way home)

Need to get serious zzzzzzz's for ebayathon tomorrow.

NEED to make lots of pennies!

DH read this over my shoulder and said 'lucky her'

he he he :rotfl: looks like i have another bout of insomnia approaching tonight!!! can you just write another quick ten pages to keep me entertained?

REDMADCURLS

LMAO - more drivle to send you to sleep!

I could actually write and write and write here. I find it very theraputic but then sometimes I look and see how many people read it and don't 'speak' and it freaks me out!

I don't really talk to anyone in detail about my debt (except my aunt who lurks on here too and my mum but I give her bare bones). My best friend is Martins' proverbial love child and was a MSE before it was even invented. She would be horrified and give me a terrible time if she knew. No-one I know has the same debt issues as us, well I should say - no-one I know has admitted to having debt problems like us.

So here, I get to spill my guts, think out solutions and whinge about how much I hate Ricardo and Absurd&Ludicrous. Here I get to make sure I can cancel dd's online so as to not get more charges and here, quite honestly, I can ensure I don't get sent down for murder and keep my marriage going. DH and I jokingly decided even if we wanted to, we couldn't afford to divorce!

And here I get virtual hugs/warnings and a general sense of not being the only lunatic in the asylum!
