Good Morning

Ooooops, did I miss Missus Knitty, always best to avoid her when she's bored :eek: you never can tell what mischief will happen :rotfl:
Well, here I am. It's PAYDAY :T Dontcha just love payday for all of about 5 minutes and then it's gone again :mad:
I have done quite well this month (modesty was never my strong point) :T My surplus stayed surplus and is now squirreled away for a rainy day .......... or maybe I should say sunny day as there appears to be nothing but rainy days at the moment :mad: All the bills have been paid and early too
and I have managed to pay another big chunk of the carp one card .....look at my signature....go on......look...... under £700 -woop woop
All (yes all
) the others are coming down nicely too. I think I might be on a MSE roll
Amazing what a little bit of focus can do. Here's hoping it can continue for another month 
I have fat club this morning :eek: I am cheating a bit and going to the morning class instead of the evening one and I'm hoping and wishing and praying (is that a song?) that I get to goal. Only 1 and a half pounds to lose. Cross all your extremities for me
No doubt I'll be back to let you know later.
What else, oh yes, I had a MSE moment on Sunday
I had received a letter from one of the cc companies telling me they were increasing my rate of interest so I finally got round to phoning them to tell them to close the account and leave the interest rate as it was
It was really very simple with no arguments or demands for cash or hard sell, I was pleasantly surprised
I also phoned to cancel a identity theft policy that I had and they wanted to renew, I have no idea why I had it seeing as I have one that's free with my bank account
And neither of them spotted someone trying to order an new mobile phone under my name a month or so back :mad:
So the MSE/DFW wagon rolls on into another month for me.
Hope you all have a brilliant Tuesday xxFree by FiftyDebt of the Moment -August NSD Challenge 14/150 -

Actual surplus, plus a huge chunk off of that card!! Go on - look at your signature...blimey, that's amazing. You are amazing. Yes you are, don't argue.
Is it me, or does it seem like someone's got her mojo back?:DSo the MSE/DFW wagon rolls on into another month for me.
Have a good 'un.

That little dancing banana has mesmerised me!!!!

I did look at your signature and I'm so impressed with the low number and all the crossings out of other numbers. But I can't find a "we're not worthy" little icon!
Good luck at skinny club today. I'm sending as many skinny thoughts to you as my lardy body will allow!
:D
Definitely let us know how you get on. x0 -

Wooo -oooo! Look at you! That's absolutely fantastic - soooo well done!
And all the money-stuff too (loving the sig!) - you really are inspirational.
Am just about to do The Shred in your honour (do I look like Jillian Michaels yet? Just asking!) which, if you've ever done The Shred (DVD) is quite an energetic way of celebrating!
I'm so pleased for you.
