:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:It's great to go to bed with a smile on your face! Just as well I wasn't drinking my hot chocolate, that would have finished off the laptop!Nic I just wanted to tell you that your signature is an inspiration. I'm going to use it as a focus to get my debts down.
Thank you Butti. You read my rants through the best/worst of it... I never really believed I'd get there in the end because I was too busy running around, freaking out, stressing out, getting angry/sad/hysterical... basically, it wasn't happening fast enough for my liking...
If I was Southernbelle* I would at this point direct you to my post with a quote which is something to do with plodding... but I'm not and I'm not prepared to read through my entire diary to find it! But essentially I'm trying not to say you'll get there in the end even though you will - 'cos that usual sent me into a frenzy of re-writing numbers onto sheets of paper, in a kind of perhaps I should just write out snowball charts until I get to the end of this wretched thing way... Don't do that - it never helped!!!
Ranting on my diary and making my intentions known very much did help. As did confessing that those intentions were blown out of the water by my love of procrastination/falling off the wagon/life getting in the way in that way it does...
Keep doing all of that Butti (but not right now. Right now, re-read the posts above and go to bed with a smile on your face! :rotfl:) and we'll keep nudging you along!

Current debt looks good though Nic (if a debt can ever look good - 'it's small and perfectly formed'
Well tonight has been the night of the good, the bad and the ugly
The good?
Did a five minute sign language conversation with my teacher on my house. Realised I love my house http://static.moneysavingexpert.com/images/forum_smilies/frown.gif
Also realised I love my life down here. C'est la vie.
Then went over the road to the pub.
The question of the landlord - Is he just a tart or does he fancy me? appears to hsve been answered...with the former. Tonight having flirted with me he then proceeded to do that early turning out of lights telling me he thought he was on to a promise!...not with me I hasten to add. More with a woman called Lola*
Evening finished off with a lovely local 26 year old from a dating site telling me I was arrogant becsuse I didn't want to pop round for sex with a complete stranger at 6.30 tomorrow morning.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

I am very disappointed in the landlord but lets hope he got a wee surprise (or a big one) in the style of the Kinks song;)
And 26 yr old is par for the course, I did have a couple of nice chaps messaging towards the end there, so there is hope!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
