LOl Herewego - they are never all in!!
Going to do 'inputting' for the morning and we may go out this afternoon.
BUT on the good news front - we have decided to go to Dublin for one night - Bank Holiday Weekend. On 29/08 Our county (Down)is playing in Gaelic Football All Ireland Semi Final, which I suppose, is like playing in the FA Cup. I am a fanatic and have not gone to any matches this season for MSE reasons (previously I hadn't missed a championship game in 10 years) but we haven't got this far since 1994. DH, who does not like football, suggested we go a) because its a huge game and b) its our wedding ann. this month so that's our present.
Hotels are so cheap (£55 for the room for 1 night - previously you would not have got a room in Dublin under £100, esp on Semi Final Weekend, the power of recession I guess). I have paid the hotel already and also paid for my brother and his g/f. Brother got tickets and will give me the balance on that weekend and it will cover spends! So we are good to go as it were.
Of course, I will have to be uber efficient in meeting rest of months bills but since I never know where the money is coming from - whats new there!
I hope you don't think me frivillous given that I never stop saying I don't have enough for bills but I still haven't touched this months ebay money (£50 so far) and hopefully wont have to (I am trying to leave that in paypal, hopefully towards Xmas) but at least it's a cushion.LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

That is fantastic news I'm glad you and DH will have some time together it makes all the debt busting worthwhile if you can still have a little bit of a life. We are lucky that DH family are just outside Dublin so with chaep flights it makes for a cheap break if visiting family can be classed as a break. We were hoping to visit during August but DH may have to go away for a week on business so looks like it may be September now.
Well done on paypal money I was planning on ebaying today camera is charging just been out for my 1.5 hour walk to town and back so best get on with it as we are going out for dinner tonight and then the cinema.
With your determination I'm sure you will make all your bills I would class you as a professional in that area nowMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

You have definately earned a break in Dublin, make the most of every minute of it and don't feel guilty for a single second, you still have the right to a life xLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

WOWOOOWOWWOW BTD - how are you - great to 'see' you - will pop over now
Herewego - far from a professional but thanks for the compliment!
Woo & HWG - thanks for 'allowing' me my trip - a year ago I wouldn't have even thought if I could afford it but also I wouldn't have got excited about staying in Dublin (always get excited about football)
