    Happy !!!!!! here reporting for duty! :o

    I've just paid an extra £200 off my Capital One card. Wo-bloody-hoo! :rolleyes:

    Had to take the car to the quacks today aswell which set me back 150 notes! :wall: :mad:

    A few payments have cleared but to be honest I can't even be bothered to update my sig! Says a lot about me! :o


    I don't want to sound all attention seeking (who me? :eek: ;) ) but I think this is one of the lowest points I have felt. I just want to be able to go to sleep and wake up when it's all paid off! :(

    I've got loads of bookies to do with match betting aswell to make some seriously easy money but just have got no motivation for it! :confused:

    Maybe I'll come back when I've cheered up! :xmassign:


    Know how you feel. But from the looks of your signature you are getting there. Chin up and hugs all the way from Scotland. :o
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    OK ladies - I've finally let SS out of my boudoir.

    Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better SS! I find sometimes just writing down how I feel, admitting it if you like, helps me to work through it and feel better. I don't know if that's the case with you but you definitely mustn't think you're being self-indulgent. You have contributed so much to this board, you've stored up a life-time's worth of credits that no amount of moaning can outweigh!! ;)

    Hi SS! Just wanted to add my support too. Sorry you've been feeling low. Like the others have already said, you're doing fantastically and you shouldn't give yourself such a hard time.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Do you know, I stay away for a few days and everything goes belly up.

    SS dude, I know where you're coming from. I'm 30 next month and it feels like I've wasted away the years when I should actually have the most disposable income and no dependents. I should be having a whale of a time...... Then I remember that actually, I had a whale of a time in my late teens and early 20s which is how I got into this situation in the first place.

    Take a break. Really. Take a break. When you're dealing with figures like we are it's too much of a head-do to be on it, on it, on it all the time. It's not a license to spend though, and no doubt your MSE habits are so ingrained now that you wouldn't anyway (at least not as much as before your LBM) but stepping back, letting your hair down a bit and being a bit indulgent about what you've achieved so far is really really important. We can't have you suffering from DFW burn out so young can we. Your fan club would be lost without you.
