I'm sure Grace had a lovely time, Dinah! And how awesome is it some threadies were there for the big birthday?! I do kind of wonder if we'll all still be talking another 4+ years from now?clearmydebts wrote: »When are you hoping to be DF?
We're hoping by Autumn, it's OH's car loan which we've been lugging around for years. Be so happy to see that gone!
I am excited!! I'll admit, I wasn't too keen on the last series - they were changing people and storylines and I was like "where the frick are the Reeds?!" so I'm hoping this will be better, as they're all Reed'd up!
I got some great presents, all useful too which is a bonus!! My Brother got me some lush and S&G bits so guess who's having a bath asap after work today?! Although he told me the sales girl in Lush told him one part of a bubble bar was edible, so he dared me to eat it. And I did. It wasn't edible
I'm nervous too, Shrimpy!I was looking at trains to get there about 9:30, but I'm always up at 5:45 so 9:30 is late morning to me - don't know if that's too early?

I'm definitely in for the meet, just have to double/triple check the calendar, will get my tickets tomorrow as its payday! What time are we thinking roughly? Just in case the cheaper tickets are at set times, I don't want to miss the macaroons! I'm excited and a little scared at the same time
Sounds like the party was great Dinah, bet Grace loved it!

I was thinking 11ish too, I'm not as hardcore as you Cinny!
I don't mind mornings but anything before 6.30am is very much classed as night time in my book! When I was working at the supermarket over Christmas 2011 my shifts used to start at 4am and I could never get my sleeping/waking patterns adjusted, just ended up not really sleeping!

Course we will, I'll STILL be trying to get us debt free so we can have a real life.
Haha! I'll probably still be fighting to get to a place where we can save for a house!
11 is good for me, I'll probably still get there at 9:30 so I can get my bearings so if anyone else is getting there early let me know0 -
I'm pretty sure we will all still be here in 4 years time but Dinah's diary might be in MFW or a savings board

Lol Cinny!! I bet it tasted horrible. What a mean brother
It's so nice you guys all got together for Grace's party. I bet the food and everything was lovely.
Well the cupboard has just had its first coat of white paint. I'm worried it's going to look so carp now it's been built up into this big thing. You just have to remember that chunks of rubble were falling off the wall in 6 places when I do the big reveal... hmmmkay?:A :heartpuls June 2014 / £2014 in 2014 / £735.97 / 36.5%0 -

Awwww, you're such an optimist!
I'm ever the optimist and of course you will be MFW - that's if that is the next step you want to be after DFW.

In 2017 I will be 32. NIM hopefully will be in uni, we'll still be skint. In my ideal world the business with dad will be running well enough that I'll be half time in my day job at the council, and half time with him. Asked a week ago we'd also have a second baby as Grace will be in school, and I don't want more than a 5 year gap, but now I'm not so sure we're going to be able to afford a second one at all until its too late.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
