  • Thank you Bun! I think staying away from here was a biiiig mistake. I bottle stuff up and then feel like I have nowhere to turn - which becomes a vicious cycle really. But anyway, not dwelling today, going to do some Thomas puzzles, what an exciting life.

    Bun where are you that it's 5.15? America?? And if so why are you UP at 5.15???

    Morning all,
    Congratulations on the job Redsquirrel! :)

    Yay for Wednesday, although it feels like Tuesday with being off on Monday. Last night DH and I checked phone websites and we are going to sell my HTC as we got offered £103.50 for it, and I'm going to use his blackberry (only £40 offered) as he has another phone anyway.
    So thats another £103.50 made towards debts :)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    well done mazza, as tesco always says every little helps :D
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Thank you :) This trying to get debt free is quite exhilarating! I'm going to put it all towards a short term loan thing as the interest is horrendous.

    Just glad you are back hun.

    We are on holiday is Florida!!! (My 40th b-day present)

    Flight was bloomin Looooong and DD wouldnt/couldnt sleep-DS was fine and crashed for a while. DD was up the whole night the night before coughing so she was a bit all over the shop-was poorly in the night last night but seems ok now, I know the travellig etc hasnt helped so today we arent doing much, shopping, swimming in the pool etc. She needs to feel better by Fri when the family starts to arrive!

    The villa is great, spacious, airy and the pool is great. We did a brief shop last night and I was like a kid in a candy shop-could get REALLY fat, lol
