    I managed to pick some very cheap batteries up when i went to the bank - so cheap 2 have already run out but i expected that and i have got the use out of them as i needed so am pleased :)

    Rest up jwil and enjoy your book - hope you are fully refreshed for tomorrow and have a fab weekend. Which book are you reading now? :)

    As usual I have a few on the go - a Kathy Reichs book, One Day - which has been in my pile for years, so I dug it out in case I want to see the film, and Michael Palin's diaries of his Monty Python years. I've never seen any Monty Python :o :eek: so it doesn't make a lot of sense, but I think DH has a couple of the films so I'd better dig them out.

    Are you (or anyone else!) reading anything good?

    I have just uploaded 23 items to ebay :j. I'm not expecting great things, but every 99p helps!

    I think DH has a few bits ready now too, so I'll pop those on in a minute too.

    hi jwil and peaceandfreeedddddoooooom teehee i came over all braveheart there ;) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Truly though its good to have you back hon :D Sorry to hear you've been ill ((hugs)) you take care. And well done on totting up all the debt too - thats a really big and good thing to do :) I actually wondered if you didn't have any debt as it wasn't in your sig. We both actually owe a really quite similar amount though i've never snowballed mine :o Realistically i won't have paid the debt in full by the end of the year but i am aiming to have got them all to £0 before my birthday next year and then its onto the mortgage. So i'll race you if you like - well we can pitch in ideas together and then these pesky bills whittled to nothing :0)
    :cool: Spuds! Mine are due to be harvested too but may leave them until next week when i'm out in the garden anywho's :D

    Well, if we race, you'll win. :D There is no way I'll have paid my debts in full by the end of the year - if some miracle occurs, maybe by the end of next year, but you can see my DFD in my sig - it's a long way off. :(

    I didn't have my debt in my sig for months because I kind of completely went off the boil and wasn't making enough effort to clear it. I'm back on the boil now. :)

    I do have plans in my head for generating income, especially passive income, but they'll take a while to put into practice. Meanwhile, it's ordinary work and ebaying/car-booting/money-saving and anything else that gets those debts down.

    Fear not, Jwil, you have lots of company for a long while yet. :D

    Reading The Tiger's Wife at the moment but am struggling to get into it.

    I have just ordered another Anthony Trollope from amazon - he's my favourite 'classics' author and I've read all of his most well-known novels but was pleased to find there are quite a lot of others that I didn't know about. I love reading the classics and Trollope in particular - I find it very comforting for some reason. :)

    I quite like reading the classics too, there's something about them.
