    Morning, getting excited for you, and keep checking in to see how near you are getting.
    Morning!!

    I'm making small PADs over the weekend as the temptation to just pay it off it huge....but wouldn't work as I would have no money left!! I get the rent money in next week while I'm away (with no internet.....eek!) working so should be able to make my final repayment on Thursday or Friday of next week. It's very exciting :D
  • I've done my first PAD today! I reckon 1000 days should do it (probably around £8K on Credit cards, can't believe I have been so stupid again)
    Start Date: 27/11/2010
    Padding: Day 42
    Target £8000
    Amount: £562.23

    Woo to PADding. Don't beat yourself up and call yourself stupid. Remember that you're amazing for recognising the problem and dealing with it like a grown up.

    :T :T :T

    Reply sent! I'm slightly ashamed that I could only picture where the art gallery was in reference to Primark :o:rotfl: You'll need to help me be good....normally a trip to Glasgow means Primark and I'll be PADding to the credit card before I know it!!!

    I have a cold :(

    My head is full of snot and misery :(

    Despite the media panic about SEVERE WEATHER and SNOW CHAOS, here in the North of the country we just de-ice our cars and get on with things. With this in mind, myself and my friend set off a mere 15 minutes late to Costco (delays due to her not being able to find her ice-scraper) Spends today are therefore:

    £3.70 on pizza in Costco and some juice :D
    £10.96 in Morrisons
    £24.42 in Costco (Damn cats.....all spends were for them!)

    So, the cats have cost me £45 in the last few days (Bah!) but they won't need food bought for them until well into January and the cat litter will last the month, so that's good news too.

    Tomorrow we're having slow-cooked venison stew courtesy of Free Bambi from Papa Fresian and a stew pack from Morrisons which cost a princely 83p for carrots, onions, leeks and swede. Yummy! I'm hoping that beef stock will be appropriate for stewing Bambi. I'll be putting it in to cook about 10am, so any thoughts before then would be fab!

    Plans for tomorrow include getting some washing done and making lots of cards. I'm planning to hide under a blanket and put a DVD on if I'm still feeling ill though - need to get rid of this cold before I go to Belfast on Monday night.

    Happy Saturdays to all :D

    I'm more than able to deal with snow, but I fly to Belfast tomorrow (although if it keeps snowing I suspect not) and the weather is scaring the !!!!!! out of me. I hate flying and the plane that slid off the runway at Newcastle the other day is making me nervous. Really want the flight to be cancelled :o
