    I am having a pretty carp day today and I'm feeling quite upset by something that happened this morning. DS and I have therefore had a quiet day. I thought I had best do something productive before I end up spending my day eating biscuits and watching Paw Patrol on YouTube ;)

    I have cleaned the kitchen, put some washing out and cleaned the woodwork. I have also decluttered one box from the bathroom :T to get me started.

    Read your status on FB and replied. Please don't be upset, that man is an idiot :mad:

    You are doing so well with the debt busting, putting me to shame. I can't get motivated to get rid of it at all as something always seems to be in the way :(

    Hi Starnac

    I hope what ever upset you is resolved now :(

    Well done on your challenges- you are doing so well. We both have xmas 2014 as debt free dates!

    I'm worried mine will be a couple of months later but I will try my hardest!

    Thank you. I've had loads of replies and texts off friends saying they've had similar experiences with him. So glad I put in a complaint against him now!

    Hi OF. Looking at the figures from the last 6months, we won't make christmas 2014 DF :( I am quite sad about that as I really really want to be. I don't want to carry any debt over to next year but it's not looking likely we'll be DF by the end of the year.

    I will keep plugging at it though and maybe a miracle will happen. You never know!

    Thanks cheery

    Sold a dress yesterday so that's £8 made. Also got a cheque off the treasurer for things I've bought for my youth work. That's going straight in the bank today.

    We are off camping this evening so won't be around to do any money making. I'm thinking I might charge the iPad to take with us but obviously I won't be able to charge it while I'm there so once the kiddies find out I've packed it then youtube will use up most of the battery ;)

    What has everyone else got planned for the weekend? Anything nice?

    Party poopers!!!! Bet they have had a go ;)

    Camping was pretty good actually. Weather was much better than the forecast said. A big group of us went and it was fab. Shattered now though as activities went on til about 10pm then the kids all had an hour's Grace before they had to be in their tents by 11pm. :rotfl: yeah right!!! Even DD said this evening that it is nice to be in her own bed where she can get some "peace and quiet away from the noisy children" :rotfl:

    The holiday did highlight the fact that our tent is now too small for us. Had a quick look on the net when we got back at bigger family type ones and :eek: they are expensive :eek:

    I've got some unexpected extra money in my pay this month which I could use to fund a new tent but not at those prices. So DH and I have decided that we will go to a camping/outdoors type shop on Tuesday and have a look at tents, see what we need etc then have a look for something similar on the bay of e. The extra cash in my pay should cover that.
