    Well done!!

    I have been lurking on small things today, but not feeling up to posting today. Clearing my debts in small chunks account for quite a few of my 101 things. One will be cleared by 3rd December, but unfortunately its the lowest and 0% interest too - but cleared it will be! :D

  • ah stitchy you do a fantastic job - truley sterling :A I know things haven't been easy for u. I was just thinking how this is really great for me but that at the same time it will be hard for others who are in the thick of it, just like its been hrd for me when I hear of others having their DFD - obviously I'm thrilled for them but at the same time a little gutted its not me (and to be fair its little weird/an anticlimax :o I've been truely focused on this since 1st Jan (in fact boring all & sundry who'll listen! :o) and now its here.....

    Anyway treacle, get back on the small things horse, it'll focus you and bring your infinite DF ways to everyone else! :A just posted on the role of honour & one of my 3 top tips was the daily thread for 2 reasons - the moral support & gaining others tips for reducing cost - truely gold that money can't buy! x

  • That's fantastic news! I bet February won't come quickly enough for you.

    I'm sitting here looking at my list and debating whether I could either finish or start something over the weekend. An unexpected day off today means I'm getting the housework done to free up my weekend.

    I'm still working on quite a few but I need to focus more. :o
