    Hey everyone, I'm so rubbish :(

    I'm back to work next month, so should have more time to post again ;)

    I really miss it here.

    We are ok, still struggling, but I'll be back on full wage again this month so hopefully can catch up a bit again.

    Ebay sales have been pretty good, though both DH and I have had a couple of unfair neutrals. Plus the non payers :mad:. It's frustrating but luckily most people are fine.

    Got loads to do and no time to do it as usual!

    Hope everyone is well :)

  • Hi Jwil,

    I've had a long sabbatical from MSE as well but it's good to be back and good to hear from you. :j

    How is baby-Jwil?

    Really must get back to some proper debt-busting, I've been slightly rubbish over the past year or so but we've held our heads above water, which is a good thing. :)

    I am strongly considering starting my own diary to try to keep myself on track.

    Lovely to see you again peaceandfreedom! How's everything going with you? Well done for keeping afloat this year.

    Baby jwil is doing well, he's a little cutie if I may say so myself :D 9 months now, :eek:

    Do let us know if you start a diary so I can pop over for a :beer: :)

    hi Jwil (and friends) :hello:


    like peaceandfreedom I left MSE forums for a while - seemed to lose my way somewhere - had a bad year (family stuff) - I have still paid off the debt and kept focussed (mostly) but need to get back into it and knock it on the head once and for all in 2014.


    Reading back over your last 2 diaries since I was last on - I think baby Jwil is about 9 months now? and you go back to work in Jan? I bet that has gone fast for you?

    Hey LAM, lovely to see you again! :)

    Yes baby jwil is almost 10 months now :eek: and I'm back to work in Jan :(

    I've failed miserably with the debt busting this year, and it seems to be expense after expense at the moment. My car is costing me a fortune and it's still not resolved the problem. I have no money to get a new one, so need to keep this one going if I can.

    I'm not sure I'll get in before Christmas again so

    Not sure I'll get on again before Christmas so:

    Merry Christmas!:xmastree::santa2::xmassmile:rudolf::xmassign:

    and here's hoping to a more solvent and debtbusting 2014 :)
