    Thank you Sista - Wish I was doing as well as you - You are doing great! :T

    Anyway not a bad Monday - moved into the 27's :j:j Only just in there, but in there just the same.So this weekend has consisted of shopping shopping and more shopping :o. Christmas shopping to be exact - I think I have got almost everyone now, will pile up all my deals next weekend and maybe even start the wrapping :eek: I hate that part - sooo boring!
    Been listing sales this weekend too so hopefully a few more pounds to arrive over the week.
    Am really busy this so not sure how much I will get on here - but have a great week all and keep MSE X:money:

    Ooh Fae - I may just take you up on that :D Although will see how DH does first -give him something to do while he is recovering :rotfl:

    So a little update on life since my last post.. DH has had his operation, is now home and looking like he is on the road to recovery - have to wait around 6 weeks they say to see how it went, but if nothing else he is in less pain, which is nice..
    Still loan not cleared :o Finally got a letter through saying they will take the full and final amount in the next DD - so hopefully by this time next week I will be :j. But just as you get excited about that ( you know how ying and yang works).The washing machine packs up :o So have called an engineer out who will be here this week, had a choice eih £80 call out plus parts or £170 for 12mth plan..all covered and as many call outs as necessary and will replace if keeps failing. So took the year - as the machine has played up before albeit about a year ago, but hey would rather we were covered..Oh yeah and the boiler broke, so we had to get a new bolier..clearly could not afford it as paying off loan, so have had to finance it with BG. But I think we got a really good deal, covered all installation, and 24 months cover etc..and will pay that off ASAP. But now we have a warm house, hot water and peace in the house..amazing what you get used to. We have cavity walls being done next week and then thats it for another year..We saved up for the cavity walls to be done, so the only things extra were the boiler and washing machine. As DH is home recovering at the moment the last things I needed was not being able to keep things ticking over..so its done, probably not what was needed this time of year but done all the same.
    Have still been selling selling selling, and that is how the cavity walls have been done, still paying odds off CC's and have made a massive decision ( massive for me anyway :rotfl:) that at the beginning of next year I am going to list on here all our outstanding debts loans, cards everything..But next year so I still have time to reduce some..before I shame myself in public:D.I know where everything is but I think I am ready to list ot all..

    Anyway off now for a lie down after that revalation.
