    Finally up to 3, this month is going to be hard work I can tell.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    And no, Schiff, I don't have any of Delia's books, unless she brings out a book on how to cook microwave ready meals :o

    That's a shame. Didn't you try my wonderful way to spicy veg? I hope I wasn't wasting my time. :(

    Do you ever go in the Firstbet betting shop on St George's Road?

    Hmm ... not doing very well. I've had a SD every day apart from Monday when I last declared! I'm also very behind with this thread again!!

    Tomorrow we're buying the carpet for DDs bedroom and Tuesday will be grocery shopping, Wednesday is the cinema ... aarggh. Hopefully Thursday, Friday and Saturday then. DH has a week hol this week though which could impact on my good intentions :( Sunday is my birthday and we're going to Hunstanton for the day so that will be a SD.

    Hope you're all doing better than I am :)

    Hi Spoony, I am declaring NSD 7 :j:j whoo!!! I am getting all competitive with myself now and thinking how far above my target I could get.

    Deff no spending for me today, after the garden I decided to tackle some stuff I bought back from my mum's in the week when clearing out my old room. Sifted though a few bits for the car boot, and a lot of fesitval and music stuff from when I was in my mid to late teens. I used to want to me a music journalist for the NME and spent tons of time seeing bands in London (perhaps if they had a-levels on the london underground and gig venues and indie bands I'd have got straight a's!!) Am really bad and have kept a lot of it as it all has such strong memories attached to it, lots of programmes, signed photos and such that are irreplaceable. I even have almost all of the Blur fan club magazines 'Blurb' and am sure that there must be some more stashed somewhere as I thought I had them all and its some of the mid/later ones I'm missing.

    Also made chilli for dinner which I havn't done for ages, mine and OH sarnies made for tomorrow and I'm sat in my pj's after a bath - so won't be going out and can't muster any enthusiasm for internet shopping as I'm far too tired.

    Hope you all had a fab weekend - back to the grind tomorrow.
