    Hoping that lots of people will come on the forum and chat while I am gone, especially newbies

    hello! i'm new! :wave: been (slightly obsessively) trawling these boards recently, taking on every piece of advice i can get my hands on after having a monumental LBM, and finally got the courage to sign up. excited about sorting out my (and oh's) financial mess, and looking forward to getting to know some of the incredibly open, supportive, determined and inspirational people on here.

    ahem anyway, waffle over, just meant to say hi :) SOA and debt-free diary to come!

    Evening all, hope everyone is well.

    Well at least its Wednesday, only 2 more working days left in the week, for me. I am working next week and then I am off for 3 whole weeks. Not going anywhere but will just be so good to be off, although I will have my 3 LOs to entertain, but as long as it stays dry they are content to just play outside.

    Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

    heheh i'm from london but moved here for work for 20 months, or longer if stuff works out :) (although it means that i can't do most of the online survey stuff that people recommend on here as when i try and register they say "ip address geo violation" - of course! silly me for even trying...)

    (glad you like the pic, he's my little fluffy baby!)

    hmm, got distracted by other threads and haven't got round to doing any actual debt-related posts yet... maybe they'll have to wait till tomorrow...!

    Weather is also a bit crap here, but probably good for ducks.

    There was a bright flash, and I thought "I wonder how far..." BANG! "...that is away..."
