Turnips and Truffles

I almost put my alternative title up- but thought better of it;):D
Well here we go again:) Dusting off the old fighting gloves for the next round of debt busting.
I have now become personally Debt free:D but the fight continues as some of you who have followed my diaries may know.
There is a wee matter of joint debt outstanding (debt i took on) as well as Mr.B's debt. It feels like a long hard road, simply because the demons i am fighting are the ones we create for ourselves. Never much fun debt busting when the other person has his head buried so far in the sand, that he may never see daylight...:eek::rotfl:
I have taken on more work over the past few months in a bid to clear off joint debt as quickly as possible. I am snowballing the debt and i am trying to be as frugal - doesn't always work and so i swing from turnips to truffles..i am only human:D:rotfl: So i need you lot to keep me on the straight and narrow..feel free to lob a turnip or two
As ever i have been trying to think of a song Blackadder style- has to be sung to Blackadder tune:D
Bob, she lives to ride again,
But seems to be in circles running,
She has debt-busting on the brain,
Her plans, as always, will be cunning...
I can't think of any more at the moment so will alter as suggestions come in.
Cantering to 2012..........

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?

Ooh, a new diary to follow - I sort of lost track of the last one somewhere along the way. I think I got sidetracked at Mrs Miggins' Pie ShopSuccessful 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
