    Just thought I'd let you know straight away... you know, in case you were ever in my area and looking for an orange. I do work for an orange coloured company actually... but luckily the uniform is grey thank god.

    :rotfl: That's lucky! I don't think many people look good in orange... Actually grey doesn't suit me either though as I'm very very pale so it washes me out. I'd still take it over the orange though!
    New Debt Journey: Pay off £19,622.91 by 30th April 2015 :T

    Debt at Highest: £43,073 :eek:
  • No, no babies. definitely not.

    I think the general consensus is that you're pregnant! So it must be true :rotfl:
  • I didn't think much to soap nuts but the plastic balls you put in the dryer are well worth it - never need any conditioner which is great for my kids who have eczma.
    ps I am single but a lot older than all these 30-somethings. Will watch budding romances with interest :D At least people here will be well suited as already know financial pitfalls - took me many more years to get the message lol.

    How do you make and see avatars? I can't see any :(
    Debt Free. Have my Van. :) Find dream
    Frugal 2016 Target @£400 per month
    Month 1 £400/£400 Total of 6 Months: £/£2400
    Food £0/£120 pm Diesel £0/£100 Me/DD £0/£80 Yearly (clothes/holidays/presents) £0/£100

    It's not the end, it's the journey and how we travelled.
  • How do you make and see avatars? I can't see any :(

    Go to 'Quick Links' in the green bar, above and to the right. Pick 'Edit Options'. Scroll down, and there is a tick box saying 'Display Avatars' or something similar.

    Then if you look on the left of that menu, there should be an 'Edit Avatar' section. That's where you can upload a pic.

    You need to be logged in to view avatars I think.

    I couldn't either but I just figured out it's in Quick Links, Edit Options, Thread Display Options and tick Show Avatars. You can also set you own using the Edit Avatar tab on the left hand side. HTH, Cat

    Aw lovely pictures catmort and loubielou.
    I just went for dinner with my friend and made him a financial spreadsheet, it includes 2nd purse, stockpiles, pots, debts, spending diary and a general overview :-)
    I had a look at the frugal challenge, I don't think it's quite what I was after but I'll read a bit more of it first
