    Cagne - glad you are doing it a bit better fingers crossed for the surgery.
    Babymoo - big huggles, glad that you are okay.
    Nixi - saw PM, will open in a bit and dissect with a mug of tea. You have done your best with Cally, but her response suggests that maybe she thought we were all going to love bomb her into staying on thread. oh well!. Loads of people told her not to leave including myself, and tbh there is little more that you can do.

    nixi strange how she found new thread so fast suspect still reading posts but unfortunately for her think she just found out how protective we are of fellow dribblers .wouldnt worry and cally feel free to come back anytime but i think you will find merkins are still on the menu and seemingly they are not to your taste
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Elly wasn't trying to be rude about not going into more detail its just something that is a big part of my life and trying to distil it to post on here is really difficult if that makes sense. am happy to tell you more but todays not really a good day for indepth stuff for me.

    Hi Babymoo, how you feeling hun?

    I guess I missed all the cally posts too, even when I tried to catch up. oh well each to their own I suppose. such a shame I found her very nice but what do I know I'm a man.
    Anyway, time and tide waits for no dribbler. The day at the office has flew, I have a monster headache from all the analytics and spreadsheets but have had a productive day. Let's just hope I can get something added onto ebay tonight as one of the ornaments I was selling at work today dropped and shattered so have lost a sale and an item. :-(
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Hi Dilli! Sounds like you have done a lot of thinking!! Well done you! I agree with you about Cally - I felt at the time that I made an effort but that unlitmately I would respect her decision. I was surprised she posted on the other thread to be honest, and I was trying to diffuse her with my response/pm - I obviously failed. Her choice. Just sorry she feels that way.
    Life is a work in progress

    No problem hun-just glad to see you back-we were worried about you, please don't rush with my site if you need some time out, thats more important at the moment. And you are appreciated anyway you big muppet :rotfl::)


    I know what you mean about being scared to succeed -I feel a bit like that with the PR stuff-I was disappointed that the local papers didnt pick up on it but also slightly relieved-stupid eh? Still -onwards and upwards and sod everyone, I'm going to be rich and unfamous instead :-)

    Nixi-Evenstar is also called Tracey so its probably her

    Hi Cagne, I'm much better now thanks! :) Just trying to catch up but reading back all the posts will take forever so I shan't bother lol. Missed you all though! Ebay is calling me again *sigh*

    In other news my bedroom is now all but finished just need my TV mounting on the wall and it is done :D:D So happy and I feel happier knowing I have somewhere that is mine now :D
    I have been looking into volunteering 1 day a week at the local volunteering centre, just to give me something to do. I have been enjoying the sunshine but only from indoors as i am on anto-biotics which mean I can't be in sunlight which really sucks!!
