    Hi Applecider! Absolutely fine to join still - you're #201. Good luck!

    nolongerindenial I completely agree with the benefits of getting your wife a gym membership. It'll sound weird to say this, but I view it as a 'free' way to get out of the house (in that I don't pay for it when I am there), and the exercise is a big boost.

    I never had an issue with housemates paying their way at uni (was quite lucky), this is the first time! And the worst bit is, everyone here works - absolutely no excuses for having no money! They should be able to afford £2.50 each...

    I know - she works very hard and deserves it, I have my cars which virtually pay for themselves as im always wheelering and dealering parts.

    Things are hopefully looking up for us financially, one ex-client wants some hurry hurry work doing so thats what im on the compuer for on a saturday (we have a rule - no computer on a saturday, im on it 16 hours a day monday-friday and 6 hours on a sunday) Only a couple hundred quids worth of work but it will go straight off the debts..

    Had our first amazon sale this week, another £11 to add to the targets when it clears, and someone is looking to buy a website off us that we own for a good price, if everything comes off that I hope it comes of its about 5% of my debt cleared, but most importantly its the 5% that covers my marketing budget so my adverts can get back online and we can start earning some real money!

    so my fingers, toes and anything I can cross are currently crossed that all of the above comes off, more prayers have been said this past 24 hours than I knew existed, will be like winning the lottery to us..
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!
