Yay, well done :T:T:T You're well on your way to debt free land....a place I want to be too
What I keep thinking is how much better off I will be once they've all gone, at the mo I pay 823 appox each month to debts :eek: I kick myself realising just what else I could have done with the money - that said circumstances (large pay cut) and ex's family etc all added to it so can't keep thinking what ifs....just forward and positive thinking!
That'll be fab if you clear another card by July - woo hoo :j
Very jealous of your festivals....i'm a one holiday girl this year as need to save the pennies for big things coming up and clearning the debts. Working this weekend, typical when there is lovely sunshine
Have a good day x0 -
Hi choc addict!
Thanks for stopping by!
I can't believe the money I've wasted over the years, but as you say there's no point worrying about it now, onwards and upwards to debt free land for us.
Have been very busy all day so far have accomplished:- payed cheque in bank
- washed & dried washing on the line. nice clean bedding, heavenly!
- done a massive shop at Aldi & Farm foods. Spent £82 but should last ages?
- mowed the front lawn. It was covered in cat poo, Very Smelly and not at all pleasant. Decided to leave the back garden for DH!
. going to try to have at least 3 NSD's.
Bye for now, MMmissmental stopping being mental & to be debt free by 53 :j

Have a great weekend

Hi,
Got £4 left in my purse to last till thursday:(. DS#2 decided to go and get his hair cut, costing me £8 I wasn't planning to spend. I am officially skint! Think I will have to try & do 2 NSD's.
DS#1 is going on holiday to Portugal tomorrow with his girlfriend. Although he is 19, I can't help but worry about him. I will be worried sick till he comes home. I've given him a lecture about alcohol, drugs etc:(. Just want him to come home safely but also have a good time too, he does work very hard and deserves his holiday he paid for himself.
Oh well, off to bed now. Early start tomorrow to drop them off at the airport! Lucky !!!!!!s:j.missmental stopping being mental & to be debt free by 53 :j

Hi,
Doing really well with my £4. Still got £3 left!:j
Joined up to love films on free trial ~ got UP to watch for free.:j
Been to dentist today, and had wisdom tooth out under local anaesthetic. Think I was really brave! I am going to take some ibuprofen because it's starting to ache a bit! Been invited to the pub quiz but think I'll give it a miss!:(
Something funny happened yesterday:D, when I looked at my online banking I noticed that £183 had been withdrawn. I immediately realised that I hadn't spent that amount, called direct banking and thay told me a cheque my friend had given me had bounced!! I rang her to tell her, really embarrassing! Anyway, her cheque book had been cancelled in error by her bank because they thought it had been stolen. Anyway, it's all sorted out and they are doing an investigation. We may end up with compensation for the embarrassing situation we were put in!!:o
Just hope this aching isn't going to get much worse??!!
