no, not sad at all!! I am really pleased that our payments go out 3 times a month - 1st, 15th, and 20th, so I get to update my signature regularlySuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Hello taxi - we are the same age - I will be 50 in 2014 too. No chance of me being mortgage-free then but I hope to be otherwise debt-free.
You're doing really well, I'll wash and iron the yellow jersey as you'll be needing it soon.
I'm packing up to do a carboot tomorrow. I don't feel too hopeful as most of the stuff I'm taking has been to three carboots already this year. Now would it be evil to bag up all the lego strewn across this room and put it in the car. I haven't actually asked DS but would he notice.Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.620 -
Hi Hypno and Seaxwyn...I also get to update mine a few days in the month...it's great...isn't it?..big party coming on 2014 me thinks....lol...mines feb whens yours?....don't wash and iron the yellow jersey yet as i'm £4000 behind you!!!!...so how am I going to win and Hypno is magic at making money and Olive oyl has secret plans!!!!...so I still think I'll be the loser but I'm not easily defeated...lol...
Good luck with the car boot as my stuff has been a couple of times as well...and have only got baby stuff a few of my clothes a foot spa and telephone...so not very interesting...lol...at the lego0 -

Mine's January so I'm the oldest! Don't do yourself down, you are great at paying debts, but I agree Hypno and Olive Oyl are tough competition. I'll enjoy wearing the yellow jersey while I can.
My carboot stuff is mostly clothes and books - don't know why I'm bothering really but I'm doing it with a friend so it's only £5 each, we must SURELY make that back. My mum has given me a mountain of knitting patterns so it will be interesting to see if those go.Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.620 -
I bet the knitting patterns go as you get loads of old people on there!!!!..the things that sold well for me were my large size clothes and jjs babygrws and vests....the books are quite hard to shift....I may do one in a few weeks again...good luck0

Well, I don't think i will be needing the yellow jersey - My money is secretly on Taxi, but being a matched betting type of girl, I can get away with backing Seaxwyn too without losing anything!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Hi Hypno....lol at the mbing....you will probably make fortunes on mbing....and overtake us all0

Nice idea, but I don't think it will be that productive - it always slows up when the easy offers run out!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0

We'll see whatever we pay off is a bonus anyway....and no need for anyone to feel stressed about it as it's all friendly banter0
