The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Too much debt to have a baby, I gather the tykes like food, heating, nappies, all that jazz!
I really, REALLY need to make enough money to pay for the finishing bits to the house. I think we're about £2000 off being finished. If we finish the house firstly it'll be a nicer place to live, and secondly we can get it valued, and if it sells for enough we can clear the debt and do another house to gain a bit more equity. I have a plan, but it doesn't stop me panicing!
Lol - they certainly cost a lot of money. That's for sure!!!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

That is a bit drastic CMD! I don't think I'd want to try it, I'd probably balloon and not be able to shift any of it afterwards!
What is the street party for Dinah, and when? I like the idea of them... but I wouldn't want a party with any of my neighbours!
Speaking of indulging on holiday, I've been checking out the menu for The Cheesecake Factory and they have 33 types of cheesecake! And they all sound amazing, no idea how I'll choose just one! Might have to make a few visits!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -

Lol - I know. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. It just happened to kick start mine, but I know others who really struggle to shift the baby weight. I am just lucky in that way.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Well done on the weightloss Dinah! Are you going to try and keep it up on hols? Will be hard with all the Turkish Delight everywhere! I made it to under 10st briefly around Christmas but have put 6lbs back on, can only assume it's muscle from the running though as my clothes are all still falling off?!
Yeah buttonholes are a bit scary! You could always use velcro and sew pretendy buttons on the outside it it's only for fancy dress! I'm jealous of your mannequin, it's on my 101 list too, along with a hat stand!
Lara that sounds idyllic! How long are you there for this time? Your wedding is THIS August is that right?Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -
Royal wedding street party, 1940s theme, we don't know most of our neighbours but NIM is very excited to wear a zoot suit (I think he just likes the name!).
I keep racking my brains to think of a way to make a decent whack of extra money, but it all takes lots of time and that would cause issues for the business. Apparently there is a big demand for an ironing service in my area, but I don't think I can swing the time, and NIM says I'm crap at ironing!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Well at least NIM isn't setting you up for failure by bigging up your ironing skills!
Don't blame him for wanting to wear a Zoot Suit, it just sounds so good! And Spats. Love those words!
It's not the Turkish Delight that was my downfall over there but the bread! Ohhhh soooo good! OH and I want to go back just for the bread and the funny stretchy ice cream!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

It's really weird, but lovely! It's ice cream... but just stretchy! It's hard to describe, one of those things you have to have to see!

Oooh I'm well and truly back in the crafting groove now! #92 on my list, decorate the cardboard heart that's been sitting in a drawer for about 4/5 years... done! OH totally does not 'get it' ('but what does it do???') but I love it! Thinking about getting #1 done too- start a blog and I can make it my first post Will try to figure it all out tonight, it's not difficult is it? Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

Blogging is really easy - finding the time to do it is hard! I have 7 or 8 projects I mean to blog about that I've not gotten around to yet.
Made £93 on ebay last night before fees, few bits ending tonight but no bids. However as much as the money is handy, I'm more excited about clearing the clutter. Friend round tonight, and I plan to work late tomorrow night, but hopefully I can get lots more listed over the weekend.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
