Well i dunno about that mit i fell asleep by 7 tonight mind you just worked 10 hours solid without a break. 48 haircuts later!!!!
The buzz of paying this off is amazing i keep looking at my snowaball doing a bit if jiggery to see if i can get i t down any earlier posibilities....................
Had some bad well baddish news not confirmed yet. My nephew who is 13 next week has had pins and needles in his hands and they think he might have a gene defect hnpp i think it is called which means his nerve system affected and he could end up in a wheelchair. he has had his blood tests done but they will have to wait a month for results. Trying not to think about it but my poor sister is in bits as you can imagine.
My debts dont seem that important now. Just have to hope that its not that but gives him similar to carpel tunnel in his arms.Mum 30k/29000

oh thats cr*p. Horrible when you are worried about kids. At one point they were testing my son for a possible brain tumour and i WAS BESIDE MYSELF. tHANK GOD IT WASN'T ALTHOUGH HE HAS HAD TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH HIS EARS AND HAD A growth in them it wasn't anything nasty. I'll say a wee prayer for your nephew and try and think positively.

Omg i think im obsessed.
I been playing around with my snowball again, ive worked out if i could keep up the way i have been going, not sure if that is possible, that i could be debt free by christmas 2012. That would be so nice!
Beginning of the month and everything is paid and usually gone over my 5k od and im still at 3.5k cant believe it. And that is after daughters bd and going out for meal and buying new iron at 70 quid ( after buying a cheap one 3 months ago at 20 quid and it was utter rubbish). Have a new steam thingy and took me 40 mins for irioning instead of 1hr15mins!!!!
Cant wait till barclaycard goes under 10k have interest to go on so if i could do another 100 this month extra it will be under!
Hubby been good has paid off 700 off 2 cards tht he ran up and didnt tell me so he sold some xtra bits on ebay so they cut up now hehe.
Cant believe it sunday night again need to go tobed busy day ahead tomorrow!
My 5 year old nephew starts school this week and his brother who is 3 and a bit starts 3 days aweek ( they go to private school) so he starting early, mind you he needs it. He was informing me today that he eats mud and worms in the garden and likes ants but cant catch then as they to fast!! Hubby told him he shouldnt eat them or get worms in his bum and it be sore if they bit him and he turned round and said thats ok mummy put some cream on if they bite. Well as you can imagine i was crying with laughter as he has answer for everything! His dad had a chat with teacher saying he isnt calm like his brother and she said we had noticed and he put his hand on her shoulder and wished them good luck lolMum 30k/29000
