    you are more than welcome to stay as long as you promise not to mention mash, i'll even forgive you not liking cake or chocolate because i know your saner kiddiewinks like it. :)

    but one thing to set straight - just cos i've started a diary you can't stop yours. I rely on yours to keep me entertained and light hearted. I'm too much of a dour person to keep everyone interested, i mean my debt busting takes place once a month on payday then it's over and done with for that month.

    they do like cake -

    No more mention of dodgy potatoes - promise

    I wont stop mine :)

    You're not dour - focussed thats all!

    I have no money normally - so my debt busting has to go on a daily basis

    I'll do my best to keep you entertained - I don't mean to be funny I'm just clumsy!

    :)

    ISOM you are a good friend, you've just had some trials and tribulations in the past year which would have challenged a saint.
    I've just subscribed to your new diary.

    Pippi glad to see you're going to keep your diary going.

    going to have to make a ta da list to actually get me moving and sorted today, so much to do and very little inclination to get very far.
  • aww thats very sweet of you! Heres to 2011 with hopefully far less trials or tribulations!

    hi taxi i''m exactly the same, i rarely go elsewhere other than my subscribed threads. I've been quietly keeping track of you but haven't always felt i could add much, but i'm still thinking of you.

    well what have i achieved today?
    a full day at work
    kept sane during a trying job which had to be done today
    been accepted for new current account, so that should be £100 towards the debts, and a better account,
    still keeping my Halifax account for the fiver
