    Hi Hypno

    No - the shed is looking as remote as ever. OH moved lots of stuff out of the shed, left it on the lawn for the best part of a week, then moved it back inside.

    Luckily my mum has been a complete brick and has had the little ones loads, so I've been able to get some work done. I don't feel bad (much) because she has a big garden and lots of toys and they have a better time there than they do at home.
    Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.62

  • Hypno that is absolutely amazing the amount you have paid. If I even manage a couple of thousand a year I will be stoked. I made a resolution last new year to have less debt and am pleased enough to be working on that. You go girl !!

    <looking for the gone boss-eyed emoticom>

    Well I found this thread yesterday.....and this morning finally finished reading it-(good thing I can speed read)- from begining to end.

    It's not just about the inspiration to find that bit extra to chip away at the debt each month or the humour (even in adversity) or even the cheese straws and yougart recipes.....it's about the warmth and support offered not just by you Hypno but back at you too.
    Betwixt reads I was reminded to reactivate my mystery shopping accounts, check out my survey sites (found a forgotten £48 in YouGov yay £2 to go) and generally remotivate myself.
    Thank you for an awesome journey -and some severe eyestrain !! ;)

    Blimey Duchy - it is a strange way to keep away from the fags!!! But glad to be of interest! Please feel free to visit again - the peeps here are fab as you have already discovered!

    Today I have had physio, and she says that it will still be a while before things are fixed so I was a bit :mad: and was a bad girl and went to tesco where I bought all the chocolate bogofs I could find to compensate :o BUT I have to say that although I bought masses at lunchtime, I have eaten none of it!!! So, it will go in the fridge and stay there for a few more mins at least!!!

    Apart from that I have been watching the kids ski most of the day and running around after them - no housework done, no coffee as planned with Pania (could have taken chocolate round!!) etc. But I did pay some money off egg - plus I was paid for a mystery shop that I had forgotten about so paid that off too - all in all an overpayment today of £52 - that's more like it!

    I am sorry, Seaxwyn that you are not in the shed yet, but glad you are able to get some work done.

    Hope everyone else is ok xx
