    I have now been here 9 years! (got a badge today)

    Actually thanks to MSE I became debt free, I've knocked several years off the mortgage and I've made some lovely friends. It's probably helped me cope with being a poor student too. Not much else to report, back to studying...

    Again :T:T:T

    I'm constantly impressed with you managing to money save and change career. Frankly you make it look a lot easier than I did.

    (However. ...This evening I am making my fifth and sixth meals out of a £2.50 chicken !) :D

    Thank you lovely Butti, I did have a wobble on Saturday where I nearly walked out of the shop and declared myself done but then remembered I need the money! Can't even moan about the place on facebook now as have work folk on there...

    I have been checking the fridge/cupboards for possible meals for the week - frittata perhaps?

  • Hiya Skinty, I seem to be finding quite a few old daily chat members around on the forums over the last week. I have had a change of user name but have re-connected with MSE and have had a diary on DFW for several months now.

    Seems like a long time since I came to collect you from that bridge in Durham City :) Looks like things are working out well for you.

    Right, so very nearly finished uni and starting to panic - life awaits! I want the flat ready to go on sale by end of May and the savings plan is way behind:eek: :eek: so I need to meal plan, declutter and sell sell sell and stop being tempted by pretty things:o

    I shall attempt to get my butt in gear from here on in!
