mmmmm still looking a bit 'iffy' out - hopefully I'll get a decent walk with Maisie later on


Just realised I'm DF again :j as I paid off the remaining car loan (only really taken to get the discount off the car as it was a big chunk :money:) and with the PPI claim the OD has gone too!

Whoop, Whoop!


Wonder if I can manage to stay here this time


Maybe I should 'declare' on the DF thread .... never done that before - maybe it would make me stick to it! :cool:

Congratulations, You are Debt Free

I would post it on the other thread, so you can keep looking back on it.

Get on the DF thread & get another Badger badge

OK .... will do & hopefully it'll make me stick to it this time!


Walkies ...... we were very lucky as it was raining but figured it wasn't going to get any better, got there & it was just spitting (but windy) - had a lovely (but chilly - it's only 2 deg out!) walk along the beach and back taking shelter in the dunes ...... we've placed with 'hedgehog' and Maisie has now crashed out on my feet

I've also found a shortcut to one of our favourite walking places

We tend to go once a month as, at a 24 mile round trip, it wasn't really justifiable to go more often - when we have beautiful beaches much closer

Anyway, found this wee road & thought I'd chance it .... it's a piddly single track road with passing places :eek: BUT it shaves off 4 miles .... each way! :j

A 16 mile round trip is much more realistic - especially when our 'normal' Sunday walk place is a 12 mile round trip .... can now think about alternating them weekly!

Glad we're back & don't need to go out again!

Dug a chicken breast out the freezer for dinner as determined to make inroads into this! (Beanielou - how's your freezer eating going!) and just going to stick some soup on for lunch.

Whoop Whoop - like my nice new shiny badge

I will have to work really hard to keep it!


Not a lot to report today - still really windy out (it actually seemed worse last night than on Fri / Sat for some reason - hardly slept a wink!:()

Can't say morning walkies were much fun, it really was a quick one around the park - but it was a bit better tonight and made it up to the next village through the (very) muddy farmers field ..... she loved it! :eek:

She's been dried off & I can still see mud on her *sigh*

Hope everyone's safe .......

Woohoo for your DF badge :j and yes good plan because now you will keep it shiny!

I want one too hoping to get it by the end of the year.

I want a PPI one as well, though I did mine before the main campaign - is there a log thread for that too?

Thank you Rosa positive you'll get yours soon too!

I'm sure the PPI thread was this one https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/524031

Blimey, you got your badge quick :j

rising_from_the_ashes

It's all brand new & sparkly!


Snow's just started :eek:

Discovered my new car has traction control yesterday (don't ask ) which I'm thinking may come in handy tomorrow!


So glad I've got the winter tyres on worth their weight in gold - on an auto & rural roads :T

The detour road is errrrr not great tbh - it's a wee country lane, certainly not designed for the amount of traffic it's getting the sides are totally wreaked already & there's huge chunks ploughed up where people have obviously touched the verge and skidded as it's so muddy! (*cough* *cough* did I mention traction control was handy:rotfl:)

Hope it's not too bad in the morning though!

My boss lives a couple of streets away and I've been known to scrounge a lift (her hubby drives) if it's really bad - but she's on hols!

Blimey take care.
Forecast for tomorrow is dire
