    Debt-free and Proud!
    Its getting to be a habit me being the first to post :p it feels a bit odd as i usually start my day by reading everyone elses posts for the day lol!

    I am up early today because mum is taking me to a local stitch and craft show - i haven't been to one in years so it will be brilliant to see what all the stalls have to offer and no doubt we will come home with lots of things. I am a bit anxious about it being busy and about my hip getting sore etc but i am armed with diazepam and kapake :rotfl::rotfl:

    It will be a busy day i am sure and i will be exhausted when i get home so don't want to add anything more to my list at least until i get home and see how i feel. I am adding my rollies below just to keep them fresh in my mind and maybe i will get a few done :)

    Hi Steppers

    just popped in to say hello and I haven't forgotten you. I'm just "fire-fighting" life at the moment. I hope to get back on track with you soon when I get chance to draw breath. I'm more "chasing my tail" than positive stepping at the moment!

    But I still read all your posts when I get the chance! :D

    Keep up the good work!

    Morning Guys!

    Laptop is back up and running so I'm back!! Thanks for all your kind words! Was a terrible mummy yesterday and let Xan skive off nursery yeterday - however he thinks I am the best Mummy as we went to Thomas Land! Fab day - even the sporadic hail storms couldn't dampen our mood!!

    Blooming carer's people have written asking for my accounts for the past year by 5th may or they will freeze my allowance!! Need to get cracking asap!!

    We are decorating the week after we get back from hols, so want to start the decluttering this weekend so we have an empty a canvas as possible - I am a mega horder which is a terrible habit I have struggled to break!!

    Hi everyone!

    Not had a minute to myself lately been a busy bee with my new job and had a little holiday too :j

    Been a good girl and kept on top of my bills even though its hard to part with so much money every week I´m happy to say that I only have £50 to pay on my last default so hopefully my credit score should start to rise. Still have a few big debts but thankfully these don´t affect my credit score. Looking forward to a nice new sofa from dfs hopefully :D

    My positive steps for the weekend are:

    1. Declutter and put unwanted items on ebay
    2. Bath the puppy.
    3. Clean the house
    4. Get some work done from work (brought my laptop home)
    5. Do some washing and ironing.
    6. Start clearing out the back bedroom ready for decorating
    7. Sort out toys and put any that are not played with on ebay
    8. Contact a few friends I haven´t had time to speak to
    9. Price up household jobs that need doing such as bathroom tiling, french doors fitted, garden, walls knocking through etc.
    10 Have a nice cup of tea and relax and actually watch tv for a bit.
    :j Comping wins: Gig tickets, Lovemydog tag, Country Livings Christmas fair tickets

    Freebies: Redken hair product, Cow teddy, Pebble grey illuminated compact mirror.

    I went to the creative craft show in the Kings Hall on Friday, and then to a craft fair on Saturday. I am still in shock at managing to go to these i think as i slept all day Sunday :rotfl:

    I was sooooooo anxious about going to both of them, but i also knew i would be ok if you know what i mean - i am noticing such a big difference since the meds increase :D
