£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Hi Claire,

No worries at all, hijack away! That will be so exciting when you go sub 10K!

You lot all talk too much while I'm away , took me a while to catch up with all that lot. :rotfl:

Been looking online for places to sell retro games - from the looks of it I've got about £100 worth so def worth selling - I'll just do anything I can to avoid ebay!

Don't, big boobs sound good but they're very impractical! :rotfl:

With a size 16 top and a 10/12 bottom I've yet to find a dress that fits properly.

Same as - 32FF means a 14 top for me (can squeeze into a 12 if I want to look like a !!!!!! star - read desperate !!!!!! star - not nice in my advancing years) and size 8/10 bottom half and midget legs... now you know why I started dressmaking!

Beccie - I am blaming you for my current excitement. You got me all excited about dress hire now...

Hi!

I hope everybody is having a good day!

Beccie, I’m loving this thread and the people that are contributing to it… I actually think this is my favourite thread on MSE because everybody is really helpful and encouraging and I feel like I’m getting to know people through their posts!

I get paid on Friday and I can’t wait to pay a chunk off the dreaded debt… because then I will officially be sub£10,000!!!!!!!! I’ve waiting a long time for this little landmark!

…I really need to pull my finger out and start job hunting soon because I’m not happy at work and I’ve just found out my favourite colleague is leaving. Other than that I’m trying to stay positive and I’ve already bought about 1/3 of my Christmas pressies. Plus I’m hoping to get a few more Dooyoo vouchers between now and Crimbo so that I can buy some gifts via Amaazon for free.

Anyway Beccie, I hope you don’t mind me hijacking and I also hope that the Borneo prep is coming along nicely!

So jealous of anyone who has even started christmas shopping... I tend to leave it last minute. Socks and M&S voucher, anyone?

Woowoo

I can't wait to start mine on Friday, I have found lots of stuff on line tonight that I want to get, whilst doing surveys, learning French and chatting on here - women are great multi taskers!

I used to think I was good at multi-tasking but I think I am getting worse at it! My poor trainee oftens talks, then when he gets to the end I realise I haven't took in a word he said, oops .

Ha ha :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm 5ft 3 so I have the midget legs too!

And I'm glad to have got you excited about the dress hire, I think it could be fun. And as we all know, any extra income is good!

I won't even start mine till halfway through Dec, not a big fan of Xmas.

Need to go back to Africa - this time last year Xmas wasn't even being mentioned!

I don't like xmas either - I usually go snowboarding to avoid it all LOL

And just think - next time you go will be on your shiny new board as well!

Cleaning money from last night - £10 to the overdraft fund, £2 kept back so at least I have some money in my purse! :rotfl:

I do admire your dedication Beccie. I didnt crack into my £2.01 today (but it is only 10am :rotfl:) but it does make me sulky. I am little a petulant child.

And my cleaner came yesterday so forgot I have to get the cash for her - and bless her heart she took a massive pile of ironing with her too, so I now feel obliged to pay her extra... That expense is something I refuse to feel guilty about though. There is no way I could keep on top of the housework with my hours and with not being home at weekends. Does seem crazy though, paying a cleaner whilst eeking out £8.01...
