    Umm hello ??!!! I would say the amount you have reduced yours by is more than blitzing young lady :T

    I am shaming myself by organising next Christmas because of the lack of this years preparation :D

    Ah well , it's only one blinking day after all .... Don't know what all the fuss is about !!!! Xx

    :j:beer::D:T

    It's done ......... 13 DAYS OFF !!!!!!! :)

    Absolutely wiped - didn't get back till nearly 7pm but I left a clear desk :)

    Determined not to waste this break and use the chance to sort myself out a bit. Money & life. I realised yesterday that nearly every day off this year has been taking up with money , appts , filling in forms , mortgage etc etc - no wonder I am so tired :)

    Anyway , tonight it's feet up with a large glass of baileys (or rather the very adequate Mr T version :money:)
    Tomorrow , let chaos commence :D

    Things are going to be very different next year - a new chapter for me :)

    'Stenders calls then a wee bit of pottering before bed.

    It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :j

    It's a strange feeling I must admit. It's also a bit scary, now I just don't want to touch my money:rotfl:. When I was in debt I always used to think 'oh what's another twenty quid on the overdraft' and I'd just spend but now I want to stay in credit it's actually quite hard being so restrained. I think it will take a few months to level itself out as xmas cropping up unexpectedly like it always does haha has made things a bit more complicated.:D

    I;ve been debt free since September, and I love the feeling when I check my bank balance and its not in the red! Have an app on my phone so check constantly. And have a little bit of savings so I;ve managed Christmas without going over!

    Its an amazing feeling and I never ever want to be in debt again!!!

    The first steps are the hardest, it has become a bit of a way of life checking prices and not treating myself after years of doing it.

    Have a great time off Coco, and enjoy yourself. Nothing wrong with getting a bit tipsy, i intend to (tonight for a start, I've got a week off starting 5pm today).
