    You're £50 ahead of me!

    At the end of this, we're all going to be so tight! I'd suggest some kind of celebration, but nobody would buy the first round :rotfl:

    To be honest I am going to buy the biggest bottle of champagne I can find on the day that I pay the last of my debt off. It will be a prouder moment for me than my graduation day. I absolutely cannot wait and intend to enjoy next christmas (debt free of course!) and then have a couple of months enjoying my money (without paying anyone) before knuckling down to save for a house. Wow I feel so close to this moment I can almost taste the champers now!!! Come on people, let's bust this debt!!!!! :j:j:j

    Exactly the same plans here, and it's going to taste so sweet! Well, brut, but you know what I mean... :dance:

    p.s. the biggest standard bottle of champagne you can buy is called a Nebuchadnezzar, and is twenty bottles, or ten times the size of a magnum. I'm a member of the Wine Society, and they only go up to a Salmanazar... which is still 6 times bigger than a magnum! There are bigger non-standard bottles too...

  • Afternoon all! I too wanted 6 kids and have 4 and at 35 theres still time ;)

    NOT ON YOUR BLINKING NELLY!! I am more than happy with my 4, ta!
    My eldest actually had my husbands surname before I did!! I had her from a previous "relationship" (although thats not what Id call it lol) and then she had my surname (maiden name) I met my husband and married him when she was 5 (and I was 6 months pregnant with the heir) but we changed her name by deed poll just before we got married and I changed mine!

    Not much debt busting going down here- its a bit like my diet really, its been plunged into full christmas mode (eyes Celebrations wrappers on arms of sofa) and I am resuming normal service in Jan. (although I may full my eating in a bit, seeing as my 3 year old just asked me "why is your bum hanging out of your jeans?" - I think its called a muffin top ha ha ha

    I am going out for a very MSE meal tonight- MSE in the fact that we are going with mother and Father in law and husbands auntie and uncle (all in their 70's) and theres always an awful lot of "Put your purse away my love, I'll get this" old people ness going on. Im looking forward to it in theory, but think of me later in the Harvester with 4 pensioners and kids of 14, 8,6 and 3. I think I may need wine :)
    Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.
