    Gosh that was long - my electric went off at 2.15 and so I was in nowhere land

    However.................

    I now have a clean kitchen and living room - no vacuuming however, for obvious reasons!

    LOL just read back on my last post - I meant no vacuuming due to me and vacuum cleaner having fallen out but DUH there was no electric anyway - oh dear I have stepped over to the sad side!

    Another 35p in 5p's brought home by DH so another bag of change collected - £8 so far - I am trying to keep those for Xmas shop.

    There are 16/17 weeks to Christmas, I have about 20 pressies to buy - family have max budget of £20 - so I am thinking £500 to include food shop (everyone comes to me but parents buy meat, sister - vegs, bro - wine) if I work very very hard and am 'clever' and use boots points, nectar points and grab all I can free/on offer etc etc

    Therefore I need to 'save' £30 a week on top of paying debt minimums plus my personal challenge to get Ricardo down to £2999 - um not going to be easy! However I do have £8 already - only another £22 to find!

    Nice to see you've included Ricardo on your sig Red, not that you could ever forget his existence but a good reminder that you'll soon be back kicking that debt to the kerb! x

    Please no mention of kicking and kerbs - too painful!

    But yes honey, even though personal debt busting on hold (except for min pays) I think to attack Ricardo again will bring me mucho joyo!

    And that is the thing isn't it DC. It is out of the house, and not cluttering up the place any more. RMC sorry to hear that you still can't do anything with you toe at the moment. Lucky you can work from home.
