    Yeah ditto the that :j...

    We have snow :) a semi reasonable covering though haven't been out this am so don't know how thick it is :(....

    But at least I am snug and warm even if the zip on my skirt won't do up for church :mad:

    E

    Thanks!

    Oh no!! can you pin it? We haven't had snow settle down south yet but it is cold!

  • Well, I'm going to go ahead and declare third NSD! Only because I feel so rotten that there's no way I'll be leaving the house to spend money! I slept in until 12 which is completely unheard of for me, and have only managed to drag myself to the sofa since then... urgh I better feel OK tomorrow I really can't afford to have the day off.

    I'm quite excited as I realised by the end of this year my figure will be below £12k. Then can work hard to get it below £10k and then set myself mini targets of each debt. 2012 is the year of debt busting!!!

    FM2 and his gf have gone to buy the ingredients for tonights dinner, FM1 was asking for all sorts of expensive ingredients to go on the list but I think I got my point across it needn't be expensive, there's only 4 of us! I could cook a dinner for a pittance for 4! lol ah well. We're gonna split the receipt by 4 then I'll pay him back on Tues, it had better not be a lot!!!

    Zip does half up so it's not round my ankles :)

    Hope you feel better soon, this bug I got keeps coming back with a vengeance too, hope you are well enough to enjoy your meal tonight. We are just about snowed in here so will be staying in by the nice warm fire we have and plenty of food so no worries, we did have plans to drop some presents off but will have to fit it in later in the week. Just hope the snow goes away as I have to get out to pick DS up from the station on Wednesday and we need to get to the airport on Friday meanwhile I am enjoying the lovely view of snow covered hills.

  • Hi LG,

    I feel your pain! I have the lurgy at the moment too. Went to the doctors this morning and apparently I have a chest infection. Got some antibitotics so hoping to feel better soon. I HATE being ill!

    I hope you are feeling better today.

    Just been catching up on your diary and see that you are paying off £600 per month on your debt. That really is an incredible amount, on top of living etc and every thing else. Well done! Just imagine how quickly you will be able to save up once you have it cleared!
