    WOOHOO - DEBT FREE NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now if you had been organised and rung them earlier you would have had a week of feeling :j instead of :(. :px

    :p:p:p I was ill! cheeky xxxx

    I have accidently managed to stay up stupidly late tonight, first day I actually enjoyed my food and wasn't just eating cos I was supposed to!

    Been busy today, got a fair bit sorted, did about 8/14 on my Frog list and got PLENTY to do tomorrow but feeling WAY better about life tonight, hence the not wanting to go to bed, seen at least 15 things I want to buy when debt free- Must Be Calm about it all tho, do not want to run up a CC bill just because I can and do not let me make excuses about tescos vouchers either.

    I was going to reply to everyone's posts but now I am typing instead of window shopping I am tired. debating about cocoa.exciting times here!

    want to spend 1 hour gardening tomorrow and then mostly I will be sitting on my bum writing reports and prepping for school.... need to do the fish too but they don't take long.

    I so cannot wait to start my new diary, a savings one. I guess I can stay here right? I don't honestly know what I would do without you all

    Love Buffy

    You are allowed to splash out, after you have saved 1 months of debt repayments into an emergency fund (minimum!:D:D)
    enjoy the feeling

    I'm so sorry I have been MIA and come on this morning to find some excellent news. I am so happy for you! You really deserve this opportunity to get away from this burden and start to move forward with your life.

    I empathise with the organisational stuff. I am a hoarder and find it hard to let things go. The bedroom is a state and I havd little motivation to do anything about it.

    Hope you have fun in the garden and manage a bit more of the work that is troubling you.

    Love urg x x
  • :p to you too! You aren't going anywhere, Hypno didn't so you don't have to :D.

    I too have a stupid amount of students marking to do and we are on deadlines, trouble is I much prefer the other work I do so I always do that first and leave this stuff. Daft really as when I get these finished I get a little bonus - so although it is Sunday and my fav motorsports are on TV I am working ((((well I was until I made a coffee and had 5 mins on here :o))))
    One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

    I still am happy for you. I think that now you have eaten this particular frog, you will find its tadpole brothers much easier to deal with. does you mum know you are now debt free, or would that worry her. I kind of worry that you have no one to celebrate this achievement with in the real world...

    No, no one knows, the one friend I have hinted to is in fairly serious debt and I would feel awkward telling her, it has taken the edge off a bit to be honest, a year ago I would have had Daily chat to tell and lots of challenges I really miss that very badly. I am going to come home on Friday and make all the payments. or maybe I will have a sneaky look now!

    Work was frankly dreadful. I have two plans to deal with it, well three. That has made me feel better. But the going in each day is not nice. The guy I get a lift from is also super miserable! so its great fun trying to gee us both up.

    Its lovely that people here are pleased for me, I do feel a bit of cheat with the refund from the SLC but it is just a month or two earlier with it. so its not really cheating.

    In other news I feeling very old and Fat and I DO NOT LIKE IT. I also have a date on Saturday and am so NERVOUS about it.

    Surprise surprise I have work to do so I can't elaborate any further.

    see you soon xx
