  • In a backward kind of way its nice to know you're not the only one in the world going through it - it definitely feels like it at times!!!

    I sooo know what you mean - I had such a great relationship with my parents when i didnt live here, now i am a total teenager again! Strops, "you cant make me" comments, its bl00dy ridiculous! we are currently completely snowed in and i have been told i am not allowed out! i wouldnt go out anyway, but the fact i am not allowed to just makes me want to!! One good thing is I havent spent anything since Monday, however I havent been paid for 2nd job either! swings and roundabouts though :-)

    I guess if we have the same debt free date, and same goal we can encourage other to get through it! although I do have a big blow out holiday in 27 days to Thailand (not that i am counting) and then after that I am hitting the debt payments :-)

    Just keep thinking of how nice itll be to get your own keys to your own place, and you can shut the curtains on your own whenever you like!!! :-D

    It'll be alright in the end. If its not alright? Then its not the end :D

  • Hi iwantahome :wave: Thought I'd check out your diary and say hi.
    Your situation sounds very similar to mine (well, apart from the living with the parents bit!). I've also had a conversation with the ex about pressies this year - we've agreed to buy but the limit is £15! We used to really splurge on each other, I love buying people presents, so its been hard. £15 is a pathetic amount!

    Great progress you've made though - hopefully my debts will start coming down as quickly as yours.

    Love the money tins idea for pressies :) Luckily I don't have any neices or nephews (technically or otherwise!) to buy for, but I might have been stealing the idea if I did!

    Yeah, this £15 budget is giving me a headache - had a list of about 6 things I was going to buy, but it would have quadrupled the budget and given the wrong impression (or maybe the right one - can't decide what statement I'm trying to make!). Have bought one thing already, its boring but she'll like it, just need a little extra to go with it that isn't soppy, isn't dull, isn't practical but is me :wall:
