    Imust confess to NEVER drying my hair - and I'm usually pretty healthy :D

    Glad you found your phone!
  • Maty moo/KC etc - why thank you and me neither - cheery - I'm always going out with wet hair - takes about one hundred years to dry it anyway - probably use more electricity doing that than for the weeks heating! Thick hair is a menace

    i never dry my hair either Cheery, last night i went to bed with it wet (i'm terrible aren't i!) and then it got washed again this morning. I don't usually do it that often though i have to admit. I also think it's something to do with having such thick hair, but i'm not complaining. I do feel sorry for the hairdresser when i've been there as it takes over half and hour.

    I like your blog as well, Pippi, i haven't joined but i do read it.

    it's funny how much changing something as silly as my signature is affecting me. It was almost easier to decide to spend the money than it has been to face the fact that i have to go backwards and upwards in the debt stakes.

    it's def a psychological thing. thanks to the fixed % thread i've worked out how much 1% of my debt is and that seems really achievable

    i've still got to pay the same amount in the end it just sounds better.

    you know it'll be better for you to get the new windows but changing your signature will probably be the hardest part cos you've worked so hard to get to the point it's at now.

    *sending you a nice cup of tea and HM flapjack to make you feel better*

    thank you all, i'm sure i'll be crying on shoulders when i actually have to make the changes.
  • Its going to be hard cos you're working so hard - but its the right thing to do (imho) - and its an investment :)

    Thinking about bed...........

    LT, I wonder whether, since changing your signature is bothering you so much, there's a way round it so you don't have to go right back down to £0? I mean, could you put something *else* in your signature, rather than the amount you still have left to go? Not sure what, and whether it would be motivating, but perhaps you could take it out altogether until you've got some more to pay towards it? Or put something positive like 'I have new windows and a warm home! Hooray! :T' and leave it at that until you feel more comfortable and have something else to add towards Norbert?

    Just thinking out loud, but it'd be nice if you didn't have to saddle yourself with something you feel uncomfortable with when all you've really done is do something positive for yourself and your family :o

    LT - Additional investment in property sounds more positive than new debt :)
