    Click the button of the speech bubbles under all the different convo's you want to quote (you can only do a maximum of 3) then click the quote button on the last one you want to quote and it will open up the reply box with the convo's you've quoted already in :)

    My first multi quote :rotfl:took me two attempts:rotfl:

    Well had Barclaycard bill today and made a massive payment of £556.89.

    I had quite a lot of spends on it :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    This now makes me DEBT FREE:beer:

    In a bit of a quandry (sp) can I declare my origional debt of £1947.90 cleared or can I add all the spends that I have had on it for the yr on top of that? If yes then I am declaring £3344.52 and debt free as of 19th October 2012. Paid it early evening but went out and didn;t have time to post.

    I have put the two older posts on to see if this makes sense Jemma.

    Let me know Jemma but we are away for 6 days from tomorrow so will check the debt free roll of honour when I get back.

    Thanks for everyone's support on here and a huge thanks for Jemma for running the challenge.

    I won't be going anywhere except for my hols as I want to find out how everyone is doing. Yay :T:T:T:T:T

    Yay well done!! :beer::beer::beer::beer:

    Lemonpopsicle, love the poem RISK so, so true :)

    We wanted initially to move to Cornwall but it was sooo expensive and I think Devon's the same. We wanted to be by the sea and thought about Northumberland (which we love) but too cold! The other thing that concerned us was the kids having to have their lessons in Welsh so North Wales was a no go-so Pembrokeshire it was :D
    Our old house (that we renovated) is for sale at the moment.

    http://www.fbm.co.uk/content/Buying/Search_Results/Properties-for-sale-in-SA70-8PH#liveListe43ea3db9cc95becfde08dd8ca42a177

    The top one- Franwill
    It was mine too

    I was going to ask you about the learning Welsh thing. I once tried to learn Welsh (my maternal side is Welsh and my grandad used to speak it to me...love it!) but not sure it's the easiest language to pick up. I can't see Franwill at the top, will search through...are you still living in that house or did you move on to another project?

    Is it this one? I want it! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-19963554.html

    Oh or this one! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35613412.html

    Yes, this is our old house Well done on finding it I don't know what happened with the previous link, they were all businesses!

    Welsh is tricky I must admit! The kids have Welsh lessons in school twice a week, they're secondary age now and I work in secondary school and it's sort of meant to be used incidentally but it's no big thing. You never hear it spoken in our bit of the world.
    We moved on from Franwill because the boys were in secondary and the bus from the village went to another secondary school. I saw the house we are in now when I came out of the doctors and put a note through the door asking if they wanted to sell it :o

    Wow, what fascinating reading all this makes...where to start- Congrats to Tirlittan, Lemon-your story was sooo inspiring and I loved the poem 'Risk'; Psych-you look gorgeous and Mum-fantastic news that you have joined the DF Roll of Honour too. Four kisses - one for each of you...xxxx

    I am now nearly 30 weeks pregnant. I am starting to get nervous...it is coming up too quickly. I am on sick leave at the moment due to an injury at work. Baby is fine, Thank Goodness...now that I am on bedrest, the baby is piling on the weight :) and is nice and active too. The older children are loving having me home, but are not so keen that I am keeping a closer eye on their homework, music practise etc ha ha! Have a good week all!

    Thanks J-M I can do it :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Oh Canucksfan, take it easy flower :)

    We've just had a treat :o we went to see Frankenweenie 3D at the pictures and it was FAB but isn't it expensive - £35 for three of us :eek:

    You did such a good job on the house, it looks beautiful :-)

    I don't know whether DS1 would ever forgive me to take him out of his school but it's still my dream to move somewhere else. Not sure if Pembrokeshire would be a bit too rural for me though although Haverfordwest looks nice (in a strange coincidence the Escape to the Country on series link that I watched yesterday was looking around Haverfordwest!) and DH would have to find a new job first as we haven't got enough equity to do what you guys did. I am so in awe of you, what an amazing story! :T

    If anyone buys The Sun today, I'm in it. In my underwear. :eek:

    ETA: And on their website.


    Well done you - just catching up. I bought some control underwear from their new store in Ellesmere Port (largest in the world, check it out it you are in the area). They had so much choice and I was in a hurry so I grabbed 4 things in slightly different sizes and went home to try them on with a dress.

    I didnt look as good as you lot did in this photo - fat was bulging everywhere on 2 of them, one I couldnt even get over my HEAD :eek::eek:!! Luckily the control slip did the trick in the end.
