    Hi Olivia Louise,


    Thanks for your kind words about the Family tree.


    I can do similar stitching to what is on the Family tree, or I can use Applique Fabric stitched on to make up the name.


    Let me know if I can be of any help. xxxx

    HI Steph :)

    Eventually getting around to post on a few diaries. You had a tough month and you still reduced your debts. Well done to you.

    Your family tree looks wonderful. Keep going and July will be a great month for you.

    Its my Birthday on Wednesday. 39 :eek:. This marks the reality that I have 1 more year till we are debt free. Unsure if I will make it by July 2015 but there won't be much debt left by then.


    Don't think I will be doing anything for my birthday, no money (as usual). The mother of our little house guest said she was going to take me out for lunch next week for my birthday and as a thank you for having her son to stay. Which will be a nice treat. :D


    I asked to hubby to try to remember to prod the children on Tuesday night to make me a birthday card. I refuse to ask them myself :naughty:.


    Abit depressing to have yet another birthday with no money. Oh well.. That's why I am doing all this now so that I can afford to celebrate future birthdays.
    Don't think I would go crazy, just maybe a nice meal out with hubby or I would love a Hot Air Balloon ride one day.

    Happy birthday for next week :T It's my 40th in September and there won't be much money for a celebration in our house either, but we'll be clear of debt by my 41st and I'm happy with that. My special 40th birthday present will be the statement that confirms that we've paid off our CC1 (last payment due the week after my birthday). I'd love to go for a bit of a spending spree but I'm ok without it - we'll have a takeaway curry with friends instead.

    So you're not alone - and you're right, think how good future birthdays are going to be! Since I can't go away for my own 40th I'm already planning a getaway for my husband's in a few years time :D

    Stick with it Steph, your determination is terrific.
