Debt free in ten years-my new, more realistic challenge.

Boo to your back

Verbatim

Hope your back is better today. Great that your son is getting out.

Thank you for all the good wishes for my back. It is still very painful so I have asked for a neck and back massage for my free treatment tomorrow.

Thinking positively It should start to ease soon and then I have £100 worth of chiropractor appointments to use up this year. Just have to have the cash to pay for a £50 appointment. I haven't been for over 6 months so need a longer appointment unless I manage to negotiate a price I will phone later and see how I get on.....

I have an Aqua credit card with a £300 credit limit, purely for emergencies. They have now decided to extend the credit to £1300 which I feel could lure me into debt again. Not sure what to do yet. I need to mull over it I think..

Approved foods order arrived today so we now have lots of loo rolls, kitchen rolls and tins of beans and tomatoes. I also bought noodles for DS2 and some crisps for the men. My best buy is a tin of tomato puree. Just a 800g tin this time. I freeze it in small tubs or beakers for later use. I reckon it saves me a lot of money doing it this way.

Mr P's pick up needs to be taxed but it is a hefty cost. We really need it in the winter to get in and out when it snows. And we use it to give lifts to customers.

ETA I have just taxed Mr P's pick-up on-line with a direct debit so we pay monthly now. It was £220 for the year! I think we will SORN it in the summer again when it isn't required.

Sorry to hear your back is still bad. Will have to dig out my slightly larger hold-all, instead of suitcase for you to travel in. Wouldn't want you damaging your back more by having to fold yourself up to fit

I've got an Aqu^ card too, I use it for monthly spends and then pay it off in full each month. Because I know the interest rate is so high I never run up too much on it but it's handy to have access to emergency funds if needed. Especially whilst I'm travelling

Hope you enjoy tomorrow x

Granny you will need an extra extra large case to get me in ��Great idea to have the 4qua card for travelling. I found Mr P out. He had used the card for his social life. He was very sorry and is going to stay in the whole of February. Self imposed naughty step


I have had my swim, steam room and massage. My shoulders were super tender and I hadn't even noticed.

My haggling with the chiro turned out to be unecessary as the receptionist had already fought my corner for me and I get my treatment at the regular price despite not having been for over 6 months.

[QUOTE=poohbear59;67616853 Pudding will be frozen banana (if my blender can manage to chop up frozen banana. We had some black bananas so I peeled and froze them. They were very good inside, not a mark on them.


I love eating frozen bananas - just like banana ice-cream and so much better for me. I freeze them whole and peel after removal from the freezer - I didn't realise you could freeze them peeled !

Hi Mrs P!

Sorry I haven't been around recently. I really hope you are feeling better and the snow isn't getting the better of everyone. It's lovely to hear that DS2 is out of bed and helping out. A little bit of work and plenty of excersize helps the body and the mind.

Please feel free to use the pocket idea. I stole it from the interwebs somewhere. I think it's a great idea and very simple to make (which is always necessary for me!!).

I hope the snow clears away soon and your muscles give you some peace.

Take Care

October xx
