    Max wanted a jump start on the weekend, CMD :D

    I was up at 6am to get OH to work for his group day out. So I used it as an excuse to go too the outlet centre after I dropped him off and did the food shop. Got all excited because the Julian Graves there is closing down in less than a month so is selling all their stock off really cheap. Finally got some organic flax oil at a price that didn't make my purse weep.

    Had a call today from Boots about the new fridge that they're dropping off tomorrow. Trying to sell me some kind of insurance but the guy said 'I properly love the one you've picked. It looks like you could climb inside it and play hide and seek!!' :rotfl: Made my day! We're having the sofa and tv stand delivered tomorrow too - I had no idea places did Sunday deliveries? So we can finally class the living room as finished. I did take some before photos so I can share before and afters if anyone's interested!

    Hope everyone's having a nice weekend!!

    My reasoning for it this year is that I have one baby and 1 on the way so no weekend social life so might as well watch it!

    Ha ha - I would be watching it anyway!

    I see you have your debt in your sig now Flower. Do you feel better having counted it up? I did when I finally admitted how much debt we were in.

    :rotfl:That was my excuse, until OH told me not to be so rediculous, in his words "you watch that rubbish every year"

    :o

    I see you have your debt in your sig now Flower. Do you feel better having counted it up? I did when I finally admitted how much debt we were in.

    I felt absolutly sick to the stomach when I first added it all up, but at least now we know where we stand and I can update the figures every payday and see how much we have paid off.
    Think the thing that makes me feel worse is that we are paying around £120 a month just in interest and no chance of getting any 0% deals.
    Oh well at least we are facing up to things now!

    We are in a similar situation, paying about £170 per month in interest which is maddening. I am just hoping Virgin offer me a 0% deal soon. Even if it is only a 6 month one, it is better than nothing.

    Sometimes just feels that its one step forward, two steps back. Our debt is not going to be paid off in super quick time, we dont have a massive income but hopefully we will manage to knock a couple of hundred off each month. Baby steps and all that!
