    Hi SS!

    So pleased for you doing so well, your debt reduction is amazing. What kind of SE work will you be doing? I have no skills that I could go it alone (yet, working on it).

    Thought I had posted a week ago... must have meant to and didn't! :o

    On the subject of kettles (your's sounds great), I have two things to say. First, our spare kettle is lime green and an eyesore! Second, when I was on holiday there was this really odd kettle, it was a hot plate thing that would beep really loudly while it was on, but it would keep the water the exact temperature that you wanted. :cool:

    Thank you hon. We are getting there, slowly but surely. Just got to make sure we don't slip back to old habits. :)

  • Just popping in to say Hi and that I haven't forgotten you all, just that RW is incredibly busy right now. All is well, if just a little muddled. The finances are okay, as far as I know, its just taking a little while for the dust to settle so to speak. But I have a grip, so I'm not worrying, but will be happier when we are back to knowing where we are 100% (although with SE I know it won't ever be as straightforward).

    Just off to pop around and call in on you all. Then will be radio silence again for a while. But I wish you all well and hope to find you in good spirits.

    :)

    Good to see you posting SS and very pleased to hear all going well.

    Being comfortable with SE takes time...me of very worrying nature took over 4 years :eek: and even now causes me more spreadsheet fiddling than my poor brain can cope with :rotfl:

    As much as it comes from the Ramsey chap to a degree, I'd advocate living on 2 month's back previous income, that way next month isn't so close to knowing exactly what came in last month and means a good safety net and knowing what you need in 2 months time. I'm still working on that goal though - it's the hardest mindset change I've made. :)

  • Great to see things are going well and you have not forgot about us :D

    What would I do? Where would I lurk?
