    Just a lurker on this thread but the love chat has cheered me up........and believe me I needed it
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Massive hugs to you unixgirluk

    Going to the theatre for free tonight, tickets cost £10 each, so will pay my 2nd purse £20 later so I can recognise the saving :)

    Oh and Whoop whoop paid freemans £2.58 from bank account and £0.48 that was left on my c/c (I pay this off in full each month so no interest, will be the last thing I clear)

    So declaring an update please Jemma.

    can't believe I'll be 30 next :eek:,
    [...] I've often thought about doing something extra and was talking to the hubby about maybe doing dog walking, I love dogs and one day would love my own business (dog kennels, walker etc) Hubby thinks dog walking won't take off, i think he's right but one can dream :)

    I can't quite believe I'll be 40 next :eek: How did that happen? And when?

    And it's good to have a dream. Sounds like a great idea. Do you think you'll try it or put some feelers out? Would be brilliant if you got some interest.
