    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

    Right young lady - NO - you didn't cheat. In fact it was the SLC who cheated you of the opportunity to become debt free sooner - without those over payments you would have geared to your debt. Not another word about cheating - thank you very much! ! ;)

    I can completely empathise with the feeling fat DH and I have agreed that he will helP me get re-motivated. I've even been thinking about hypnotherapy!

    Who's the date with? It'll be a great Way to start the debt-free stage of your life!

    Am shattered as I slept badly last night. Will catch up soon

    Not much you can do about the weight between here and the weekend, so just be yourself and enjoy it! He must have liked you AS YOU ARE. So take heart from that.....

    Next week however is another thing entirely. Did you ever get the Shred DVD? If you did and you are up for it. I will start on Monday with you........

    That's removal of an unfair handicap, NOT cheating!

    Your date may be nervous too, remember :)

    Think of it as having an untouchable bank account, that magically unlocked at just the right time, ready for a lovely date, and that holiday in July :D

    ok Buffy you are on. I will do the SHRED dvd after I have taken the boys to school. Though I have a bit of a cold so I might not get very far into it before collapsing. How did the date go? chev
