GTD's DFW Diary - Getting Closer to 40...

  • Money is starting to run a bit low again now, so I need to re-do my SOA etc. I've managed to make the reclaimed bank and credit card charges last a while as a buffer, but now I'm back in the real world!

    OH has been doing the bingo, which is fantastic - I've given her my debit card to play with too, so hopefully that will bring some cash in. And can I just state, for the record, that OH doesn't mean 'Old Hag'...

    I haven't managed to get the £400 for January tucked away, so I'm running a bit behind schedule there. I need to be able to make a decent dent into my cc debt before June as that's when the 0% deal ends and I'll be on 15.9% :eek!: Oh, what else... nothing too exciting; still cracking on with the weight-loss program (23lbs - day 141) which is gradually getting there.

    Need to remember to keep posting!

    Good to hear from you GTD, I was wondering where you were. Good luck to OH on the bingo - hypno has made a small fortune this weekend.

  • Thanks Seaxwyn - I've got lots of diaries to catch up with again. I tried the bingo, but I was rubbish!

    Hi GTD - I missed your post on the 13th completely, thanks for your good wishes - shame you didn't get going too then - there's a pot of money to be made even on opening the accounts, let alone the bookie offers. Still, glad you're back, and buzzing again.
