    Hey everyone! Apologies for my... ahem... bad temperedness and thanks for posting. It's nice to see some of the old faces are still here!

    Moozie - Fellow cow! How ya been gal? Not so good about busy work but I find that sometimes I just forget to go out and spend money if I'm too busy. I know just how you feel though. Have a nasty allergic stress rash all over my face right now. There just aren't enough hours in the day..... (to be on here all the time as I'd like!! Shhhhhh!) :rolleyes:

    I shall indeed get my not-so-cute a$$ over to the what have you spent thread shortly. I already know I have to buy a train ticket to zone five today so not the best start in the world. However I have negated that particular but paying £500 off my credit card, an over payment of £230 (I pay 10% of the balance each month).:D

    Sea - Blimey! I don't think I've seen you around for AGES!!! You were one of the really early posters in my now defunct diary! Good to see you back. We long haulers have to stick together!! ;)

    Jess - Call me unobservant but I never knew you were a Bauer fan. Like any good DFW though I don't have sky one so I am chewing my arm off in anticipation for season six on DVD. Now, if you could just check the schematics for the Royal Mint we can assess this crises situation.

    El - sweetie! Sorry I been so busy hun. Work is horrible at the mo (I worked til 1am the other night - I'm supposed to be 9-5). If I'm ever on line after work hours e.g. after about 6pm feel free to say hello anyway. I'll either be working at home or working at work but at least my boss won't be around so we can have a little natter! If I'm well busy I'll say but it's always worth a little hello!

    Right, a pile of ironing to do before I can get to another fun packed day at work. Happy Debt Assassination everyone - I'm off out into the field. I'll debrief you all on the what have you spent thread when my mission is complete.

    Hee hee heee

    I just had to resurrect this thread with an important update. Hee hee.

    Eight months after I listed a load of books, I have finally sold one on Green Metropolis! So funny. I'd almost forgotten all about it!! :rolleyes:

    In fact, it's been so long and so forgotten about I got an email from GM the same day saying that they were withdrawing the rest of my books from sale as they hadn't sold! So funny (well, it's tickled me anyway....) :D

    Hope everyone's doing ok this sunny Saturday.

    Hi Mola, I listed 9 books on GM last weekend, every day I come home from work in anticipation that one has sold - think I'll have to have a re-think and not be so hopeful LOL

    Hello fellow debt assassins! :hello:

    After a ropey start this morning not feeling too hot I seem to be having a better afternoon. Trouble is I've been tinkering with my spreadsheets (what with it being pay day and all) and now I can't wait for next pay day!! I'm so impatient :rolleyes:

    I won't be updating my sig until tomorrow when all my payments go out but I shall finally be below the 23K mark. I'm quite excited! :j

    Now, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice.... I applied for an A&L current account (through quidco) on Thursday and I've not heard anything yet. Has anyone else applied for one of these accounts? If so, when did you hear back?

    Hope everyone's having a fab afternoon.

    Mola x

    Well! Here it is. The sub 23k signature!!! Woo hooo! :j Watch out SS I'll be catching up with you before you know it (as soon as I can get my head round matched betting! :o )

    For record keeping sake I'm going to list my debts in this post as it's quite nice to go back and check how far you've come. I get all confused when I go back to early posts and see my up to date signature. So here they are in all their glory:

    Egg Loan: £13,820.51
    HSBC Loan: £6632.67
    M&S Card: £2344.82

    Total: £22,798 :o;)

    Getting there......
