    Debt-free and Proud!
    I know the queues have been horrendous. Luckily I am not driving at the moment otherwise I'd be well narked.

    Looking forward to the sun tomorrow..may even get the hammock out!

    Our postie doesn't bring anything exciting these days very much at all. I don't think I get any bills in the post - they are all online these days.

    The good news is I've had a Lotto win. :j The bad news is that it was the usual tenner. :p

    Bloody silly people have all gone and panic-bought fuel in our nearest town, so either all fuel stations were sold out, or they had massive queues. OH is going on a long trip tomorrow and we needed a full tank of fuel - ended up having to buy it at a local petrol station, which is a good 7p more per litre. :eek: I mean, what's going on, there isn't even a strike yet. :mad:

    Well done on the lotto win :T :T Shame it wasn't a bit more :D

    I can't believe how ridiculous people are being about the fuel, it's crazy :mad: It's really embarrassing though when you have to go and fuel up because you are empty and it just looks like you are being crazy too :o

    Hi elly :) Thanks for that, we don't have a bm around here sadly, but I'll keep an eye out for some offers.

    Hope you have a good weekend out in the garden and good luck with the ebaying :)

    Hey everyone, another mad day today.

    It is payday though :j :j Always a happy day :)

    I have paid that £600 :eek: and some other bits so £744. It's going to be an incredibly tight month _pale_ but hey I'm £600 less in debt and I can't add that on again :T

    Not sure what the plan is for this weekend, one not nice task to do on Sunday, will be glad when that is over. Possibly some booting, and ought to be doing some assignment. I'd like to get some stuff on ebay but not sure if I have the time.

    Have a good one everyone :)

    Well done on your payment Jwil, £600 is a lot of money for 1 month. Hope Sunday works out well for you and that you sort out what needs to be done.

    Cooler here today ... no sitting out eating our dinner this evening. :)

    Hey ebayqueen, how are you doing? I'm so glad to have cleared that £600, even if it means I'm skint for the rest of the month.

    It's still warmish here, but today's definitely the last day for it.

    Have a good weekend :)

    Thanks Jwil
    Take care of yourself and keep going. You are doing so well. Weather was superb whilst it lasted so no complaints really. Heading to England next week for Easter and hope the weather picks up again :):):)

    Take care of yourself and enjoy the weekend:)
