Hope everybody is having a great weekend. I am very proud as Mr Tiddles and myself spent the weekend on the Quay giving out boat a once over. So hard to resist going to the many bars and spending money I don't have, on drinks in the Summer Sun.
We had a small BBQ Friday and Tiddles enjoyed his chicken. That is what it is about, still having treats but paying the debts back.
Had a good view of the Debt free roll of honour as so good to see people clear the debts. Really carries me through the difficult days.
Tiddles and I will be leaving on the tide later and will return tomorrow with a good catch.

What a lovely story about your cat. I can almost hear the sound of all the cat lovers on this site saying "ahhh" when they read that. By the way well done on resisting spending and getting to grips with your debt (I think that's what we're meant to be doing on here but cat photos and stories are just as interesting!)0

I have a huge A1 yearly planner on my wall showing pay days and days i should be able to make overpayments. It is a real asset to me and when i get down, I just look at how far I have come.
A few months a go we lifted a 15 Silver coins out of the Solent with one of our dredge nets. Well, they were classed as Treasure Trove when we declared them to the local authority and the good news is in! We have a letter today saying an offer is going to be made to me ( by a Museum) in Mid July although I have no clue if it will be £, £20 or 200 Euros! I have seen what similar coins are valued at by we just have to wait!
This could help me pay down some debt! :T(Debt Jan 2014 LBM £34,000) Current 2016 "Problems" as follows:
