  • parsniphead - well done on breaking 40% and so pleased to see you're coming to the end of your DMP. I've seen how tough they are, and such a long slog - you deserve a medal!

    Hi to the newbies - sorry for the delay:
    kickuptheasstime - you're number 153

    loopymadlover - you're number 154

    davies28 - welcome, you're number 155

    raspberryruffle - mobiles are hopeless for changing text! Maybe if we ask really nicely, MSE will make the site more mobile friendly (or an app would be fab!) :)

    spreadsheet updated now

    Well my OH has now gone home again. We had a relatively balanced weekend, didn't spend a fortune, but did find myself having a few treats... I think I broke every single challenge I'm signed up to :eek: back to normalcy now.

    What was really helpful last year was seeing everyone's posts which cam straight through to my e mails. This year I can't seem to make that happen. Where are the settings for the notifications when someone posts. Does anyone have any ideas why I aren't getting them through I feel like I'm really losing out.

  • Hi everyone,

    I've made two payments so far in Feb. ~£291 as an account was going to go into default and £65 on a credit card. Nice to see the total is now under £300!

    This means I now have £2,675 to go... Some more of which will get paid of this month as the rest of my direct debits drop.

    Have updated my signature :)

  • I am being so good!!! Was down to my last tenner, and payday not unitl 25th...but did NOT use my credit card - instead listed everything I could think of to sell, and made £22. That will last me for another week until I can raise more funds.
