    :T Oh, canucksfan you are so close to being DF, do you have aspirations to be the next name on the roll of honour?:D

    Slightly annoyed that I've been counting down to July 1st, when my last loan repayment leaves my bank only to notice today that the 1st is Sunday so I'll have to wait til Monday to kick the loan into touch :rotfl: So 3 days and counting...
  • Update from me, not as good as I was hoping as we'd added to one of our debts quite a lot, however we are very close to going sub £40K!

    To be honest, I don't think I'll believe it til I see it. After the events of my last week, I know how quickly luck can turn. But what the hell, YES, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see my name with those two magic words-Debt Free next to it. Also there are others who have not yet been paid, who might pip me to the post!

    Ok today is payday, so I've thrown enough money onto my cc so that I have cleared the balance and won't incur interest this month :D

    However, this leave me with £200 for the entire month after rent, I have £90 to go to the DCA and I can't remember how much my bills are.....so i think I might only be about £200 backwards. So I shall get izzy, wizzy, bizzy with the fleabaying and make some dollar to make up for it I think

    If I can make £50 this month, then I can reduce my OD by another £50 taking it to £500. I completely forgot I have loads to come back in expenses too....ooh I might not be so bad afterall :D

    OH is back 9am Tuesday :D and I'm flying at 8pm tonight (1am your time) and will be back in Heathrow at 9pm.

    Catch you all on the flip side and have lovely weekends xxx
