  • My cakes were lovely til I dropped the tin handing them to him.... cue buttercream icing all over his navy suit trousers and shoes, chocolate stars all over the carpet and god knows what from the carpet stuck in the icing! I also ordered a sickly card from kukkle and didn't realise it said fiance on it til he opened it..... i was so upset but it was very funny and he reckons he loved them even more cos I had dropped them and got the wrong card! Luckily I didn't drop all of them....


    Netflixx is quite good, but yes it had old films and tv on them. L0vefilm has newer stuff but you have to pay an additional fee to watch them!


    Jemma hope your fingers are ok today! ouch!

    Morning everyone, I hope you are all well. I'm just online to say that I won't be posting any more. I've just found out that someone I know has been secretly following what I've been writing on here without telling me. Needless to say I'm more than a little creeped out, so will be disappearing for a bit. Good luck with your debt-free journeys, and I will still be reading, just not posting.

    That is a shame - I have sometimes wondered about privacy cos these debt busting things we need to do are very personal and emotional. :grouphug:Good luck antonia X

    I think making the most of our little milestones keeps us on the right track to becoming debt free.... when I made it to 4 figures I was SO happy.... now I'm getting it down even lower, I'm starting to do that thing of spending the money in my head before I've even got it and relaxing about making payments to debt.... I do want to get it all paid off but in my head 3k isn't anywhere near as bad as 13k!

    Oh no! After all your hard work! I'm glad you didn't drop all of them and your OH seems to have a good attitude! At least it showed him how much you cared :)
