I don't mind that it is a bit narrower, but I know what you mean about the scroll finger! Could do with a touch screen phone type deal to scroll ultra quickly.
Been freelancing today, and looks like I'll have another contract worth $450 over the next month, so even more work for me. Worth it though, and it means I can ditch even more of the low-paid stuff.DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

Well done Miss information.
Well been a very lucky girl had a low mobile phone bill which started at £160.00 dropped to £13. So paid to avoid any late payment markers and didn't realise my overdraft/ credit loan from the bank starts next month. So a very lucky few days.

Hi everyone, it's nearly the end of the month and I still have money in my account and I haven't even got paid yet. Paid another fifty pounds off my debt. My new total is
# 150 / 4000
I know it's not much but it's a start. I even walked around my local shopping centre tonight and didn't buy a thing. To tell you the truth I came out abit deflated because I knew I couldn't afford to buy anything. So I came home and did a DIY job on my hair (coloured) and eyebrows (plucked) and now I'm going to have a bar of chocolate. Feel so much better.
Congrats to all you debt busters out there:T0 -
My housemates in Paris until Friday and I've been dogsitting since Friday. Since I moved in in December I've been training them slowly, but I seem to have had a massive breakthrough this week
They no longer jump up at me and they don't lick my face, they still lick my feet but I can live with that. Anyhoo, just showered them but had no idea where the dog shampoo was so used a normal shampoo... I made sure to rinse thoroughly but do any dog owners know if this was wrong? It was a very gentle shampoo without the nasty silicone stuff in, I double checked
