    I decided that when I am debt free I am going to give £100 a month to charity.

    This is because I realised I spend £271.84 a month on my debt! :eek:

    What a lovely thread. Hope it can continue today.
    I had a horrible meeting with the bosses yesterday and have spent most if this week and last week away.

    However took up offer of $50 free money to try PartyCasino and got up to $1300. Cashed in and it says it is approved so that should be £660 coming my way for nothing.

    Also won £150 on Bingo last week using my "free offers". Have to make sure I dont get addicted now.

    I'm feeling good today...OH went over the road to a construction site to have a look down the hole - it's a man thing. Well he used his Jedi powers on the site foreman who has agreed to the following: Will send around a digger and dumper truck (with drivers) on Saturday to clear all the gravel, hardcore and rubbish off our very large garden, will remove said rubbish, will dig trenches for borders and veg patches, will deliver required amount of topsoil/sand - FOR FREE... we have a large garden and so we have worked out this will have saved us about £1500 in machine hire, labour, waste removal and materials...just hope it happens on Saturday and we aren't let down. WOOOPPPIEEE...will let you know!

    Hi I_A,

    Well as a PND sufferer - twice - I was very reluctanct initially to go an anti-d's. But, I did need them...so I took them. They made me feel sick for a few weeks, but I can honestly say they did really help me to start to feel better, Also had loads of help from the Motherhood team (specialist psychiatric nurses) and I made a massive improvement. Get all the help you can and it will start to come together. the best analagy someone gave me about anti-depressents was that if you had broken your leg, you get a plaster for six weeks, take the plaster off has some physio and it's fixed - you can understand that. Well PND is just the same, it's just in your head...so the anti-d's are like the plaster, they'll fix it...you get better. The thing is you just don't know HOW it works...that's not to say it won't work. Good luck...and again get all the help you can.
