When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

thank you so much greenval that's great. I'm sure they'll settle in just fine, Pippi's strawberries seem happy enough at the moment.

Been to the allotment today and cleared another strip of ground, and planted another 6 baby lavenders. The vampire man was up there today with this really strange woman, la la strange! have mentioned it to OH that they were doing lots of digging so hopefully he'll have a think and feel the need to go and do some himself.

Finally got around to colouring my hair today, bargain colour - Superdrug from about 4 years ago which i bought for 99p on clearance. Like the colour which is good, quite like what i vaguely remember my natural colour being which is what i'm aiming for.

Baked some smartie buns whilst my hair was cooking, multitasking skills a plenty today. Also had some beef stew in the slow cooker all day which i 'served' with giant yorkshires, yummy!

PAY DAY TODAY!!!!!
It's official now i'm under £10k! :j:j:j:j:j

Feels like i'm in the home stretch now, even though it's still another 18months before i'll be finished. Though technically if i didn't overpay the mortage i could be finished inside the year.

going to do all my transfers when i get home.

Next on my hit list is:
phone and broadband
sky tv
letters to neighbours re porch.

Ooh well done you!! Brilliant news (and 18 months is not THAT long!)

very true, specially when you consider i have been a member of this site for 5 years. Does seem rediculous that it will take me 6 1/2 years to clear my debts. I know they were huge but i should have cleared them much more quickly than that!

You have done so well I think we all know how hard it is so well done.

I think all of us (well maybe not hypno!) go all gung ho to start with, then get bored of debt busting and no social life so slip a bit then get the bit between our teeth again and go for it! I think you are now at the final stage
