    Hellooooooooooooooooo DF by xmas'ers :wave:

    well after my completely miserable post yesterday this one is muuuuuuuuuuuch happier. TOday seems to be my lucky day :D After his night in the dog house DH has spent the morning job hunting, rang all the agencies hes with and had a possible job for the town 30 minutes away which needed own transport on minimum wage . . . not so great :( BUT then his original agency ring him and say the driving job they have been waiting for has finally come off and hes got a 'interview' (though she said this is really a meet and greet) on monday and will then start his training :D:D THEN rang LA fitness and they agreed that mum can take over DH's gym membership which is draining £33.30 out of our account a month and he never goes :j :j and THEN I log into my email and ive won a £250 pre paid mastercard :D:D:D:D

    THis has to be one of my favourite days of the last 2 years :D

    It couldnt of happened to a nicer person :T

    I hope it's not soon as I've been listing stuff today! But did you know if you list the starting price at 99p or under, it's free for the first 100 items each month? I only found that out a couple of months ago. So the free listing weekend is good for stuff that you want to start higher but otherwise get listing :)



    I did not know that, that may be why I'm getting free listings now

    Fancy doing the Great North Run with me in September? :beer:

    Yay !!!!!! Dastardly is back!!! My competitiveness has missed you... :rotfl:

    Glad you're back x

    Aww thanks!

    Missed the competition too. But don't think just because I've been quiet I haven't been beavering away behind-the-scenes... although if you did come to that conclusion, you might not be too far from the truth!

    Lots of impulse buys these last few weeks. I fancied a coffee and a book... so I bought an espresso machine and a Kindle. Will I never learn? :rotfl:
  • That's better Jakes Mum :)

    I have another little payment to cc to add. So my total is now

    hey everyone. its took me about a week to catch up on all the comments.

    im number 84 and im just updating. im afraid i underestimated my debt. you have me down for £3,000. but unfortunately its £4,500.

    thats pretty pants but doable so ill just get on with it.

    look forward to paying it off. first payday of the year on 19th jan. so i will make a start then.

    Not bad for someone who was on a starbucks and a bought lunch a day!

    Made loads of meals from the huge almost obscene amount of foods in my cupboards and freezer!
  • WOW C-C that's impressive :)
