Glad the website is all sorted nowit all sounds very intriguing! Sorry haven't posted much, am still keeping up though

I still want a dishwasher, 7 months of washing up now and I'm not laughing anymore !! Mr Pinot thankfully is happy to eat a cold dinner, I think hes just grateful sometimes that he even has one when he walks in the door !

It's a pity there isn't a somersaulting one.
You won't remember but last November the LPG direct debit went up from £162 to £167.
Anyway, got to the point finally. :rotfl: The monthly DD has reduced from £167 to £74. :T:T:T
That's a whopping £93 reduction. :beer:

Hi Mr B
I've just got back from my week in Scotland - interesting weather but it didn't stop us doing what we wanted, including a visit to the Botanics.
What good news - a cheaper cooker and the reduced gas dd. When you are thinking of the years ahead, these kind of encouragements really make a difference. And you're not on your own - now or in the next xx years as we all get a grip.
It's good to read all the posts.0 -
Hello Mr B, I've seen your posts on other diaries now and again and have been following your journey for a while now. Hope you don't mind me joining you as I too have a long way to go before I am debt & mortgage free.
I'm also shouldering most of the burden myself, with OH knowing about the debt but not its extent. I feel your pain as it is not easy to do this alone.
I hope your op goes well on Tuesday. I have been having pains in my right wrist for a couple of years now but recently bought a bracelet with magnets on the back and whether it is psychological or what I'm not sure but it seems to help. This may be worth a try for your left wrist until they decide if they need to operate on that too.
Anyway, popping off again now so hope all is well with you this weekend.
Here's a somersaulting bunny for you to use when things are good like the recent gas reduction.
