    Oh and in other matters, I have been very politely refused compensation for a flight cancellation - so another letter to write and will step it up a gear.

    Hello Brizzle! I have been inspired by you and PLMBL to start my personal thread today. Am feeling very nervous about openly being in forum land but have gathered my wits and courage together! I find you and PLMBL really motivating and am determined to get myself into a far better situation on my moderate income. Thanks for everything you to give encouragement to folks like me. xx
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

    Aaw bless you. Well done on starting a diary - will subscribe of course. It's a great self discipline - keeps me focussed anyway.

    PLMBL is a dear one - utterly brilliant at being positive even when life chucks some real curve balls her way. Every so often feel like threatening to drive North and have a proper night out.. Am sure she's as amazing in RL as in these threads.

    Have a good week

    Yep let's plan a big night out when folks are DF...party to end all parties :) You can host PLMBL ;)

    A good day. Sunshine makes such a difference. A late payer says money will be the account this week and the journey home was so fast so I had plenty of time to catch DD2 in a lovely school production.

    :)

    Yes decluttering is on my list of chores.. Especially of chocolate :)

    Finished for week!! :j :j V pleased as feel I need some space. Off out with OH this eve and various social things at weekend but hoping for some cruising of the diaries at some point.

    Late payer still has not produced :( but TTs going well and will submit more invoices next week. Fridge looking v bare but as have overspent my food budget that's the way it will have to stay. Just a couple of big entertaining dinners with wine and restocking spirits etc has done that. Oh well..

    Planning on trying to put some decent cash into my SIPP before end of the financial year. Probably on balance a better place than the mortgage OP pot, altho need to feed that too.

    Laters folks x
