Well here we go again:D Bob's plan springs into action once more, after various cunning attempts by certain folk ( who shan't be mentioned :P ) to persuade me to keep on with another installment.
So for those who don't know me- well you really don't want to;) My diary is usually a place where i enjoy a laugh or two- am joined by various characters who are all as [STRIKE] mad[/STRIKE]sane as me:D And i have an obsession or two with Turnips- or is that Beans..??:rotfl::rotfl:
Well i am sure you are all gaga for the Debt total as it stands-:o Joint debts stand as of today at :
£6,888.05:o:o:o Which is not as low as i would like it to be which would be £0:cool: However, i have had to take a pay cut- by changing jobs. Far better for me to manage time wise and also brings in a decent income. See previous diary.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2502591
I also am helping out Mr.B- by paying mortgage and food- so totals going down at a reduced rate while i make sure i pay everything that needs to be paid.
Snowball reckons because of slowdown- i am debt free joint wise in about 11 months. Again 6 months more than i originally intended.:o
So back with a wee plan, moneysaving strategies, budget, budget and budget.
Emergency Turnips freely available for use:D:rotfl:
BOB X
So bring on 2011- because by gum i am ready for it:D:D

Life:
Well i am a GG leader- and a lot of my time is taken up with that at the moment. I like to enter pub quizzes, where we don't always do to well- usually argue amongst ourselves about the answer:eek::rotfl: But it gets us out of the house. Is a tad costly sometimes, so need to budget better for this.
I like camping which is a good job, as we have a few lean years ahead of us:eek: But i enjoy the outdoors- when it is not -30 :eek:
I enjoy walking, which is free:T Well when the equipment is bought:cool:
I also intend to get fitter and do a few more things to raise money for charity.
That's about it really. I am used to an MSE lifestyle- have been known to be tighter than a duck's arriss when it comes to spending money:rotfl::rotfl:..and i am always on the lookout to have a decent life without paying an exorbitant price.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Love the theme song:rotfl:
Glad to see your shiny new diary BOB - is this number 4? (and if so does this mean you will now be economising with Baldric's Trench coffee"....or saving that for someone else?)
As for the slight extension to your DFD....better late than never.....you have done brilliantly to get this far towards it in view of the numerous trials and tribulations you have had along the way
Looking forward to another entertaining year....you rock missus :T

Well just going to leave you all with a motivational quote from Jillian Michaels.
Oh yes the SHRED is back:D
Tip: Don't blame anyone or anything for your situation or problems. When you do that you are saying that you are powerless over your own life - which is utter crap. An empowering step to reclaiming your life is taking responsibility. Although life may deal you some bad hands, evaluating the choices you make in response to those hardships is critical in affecting an outcome that is more favorable to you.
So there you go. I am very motivated now, if Jillian says so- then i will be:D:rotfl::rotfl:
Night all.

Happy New Diary Bob-silicious ! :kisses3:Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0
