    Morning all and hugs to Bossy.

    Well it's here - DEBT FREE DAY - after 17 years and 3 months no less.

    I have to start the paid stuff early today but if I do get time I'll try to finish yesterday's list.

    Have a great day everyone - we are off out tonight for a celebratory meal.


    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I know how pleased you are having hit mine 4 weeks ago.. I have since heaped a bit of debt on in order to save money longer term, hence my ebay/selling goal of £6000 !!


    Well done both of you and enjoy that meal, you deserve every forkful, and it will taste so much better knowing it is not adding to your burden!!

    Get well soon, Dusty. Hope the day in bed and the book (combined) are enough to get you back on your feet and firing on all cylinders.

    Are our challenges now carrying on into July ????

    Yes. For those of us who didn't 'quite' manage it all in June - did anyone?! Bossy is away for the last two weeks of July so I was planning to ask everyone who signed up to it to PM me during the last full week of the month (w/c 21 July) with Challenge Achievements so they can be posted w/c 28 July.

    Huge, huge congratulations Jazee. :j :T I hope you have a wonderful celebratory meal tonight. :beer:
    First part of today's Listy - I've decluttered OH to the station and can now set about dealing with office which means I won't have him poking through the gibble piles asking if I'm really getting rid of the broken skate, the comics and my favourite useless stick-thing. I may even take before and after photos it is now so bad.
    Better is good enough.

    Dusty as it's Declutter Day, here's hoping you can get rid of the sore throat quickly.

    Kazw his solicitor told him to get married??:think: Well, hopefully all will become clear eventually, in the words of the window cleaner.

    Bossy (((HUGS))) sweetie; according to my Animal Wisdom book, Fox is associated with protection, family and healing, so I'll invoke the spirit of Fox to look after you til you return to us.

    Jazee CONGRATULATIONS!!:T It's a great feeling, isn't it? :D

    Big sack of recyling went out for the bin men to take this morning; my magazine racks have never been so tidy!:rotfl: Also cleared another WM load, which is currently out on the whirligig; and just to prove they're in the spirit of it, the doglets have decluttered a plate of chicken each for brekkie.:rotfl:
    Just going to declutter some calories on the WiiFit - nobody laugh if I fall over, OK?;)

    2 minutes of peace.. Pixie in bed and OH collecting Squeak with Dot in tow!


    recycling bins all emptied :)


    My bed stripped and all sheets on the line, Squeaks done too.. hopefully the rain will hold off until they are dry.. my mattress protector and everything is out there so there will be no bed for me tonight if it doesn't dry!


    Off to make a cuppa, unload DW, refeed WM's, refeed DW and get lunch on for my little girlies.. hhmm... vacuum through downstairs and get dinner prepped might be a good idea.. I may get all ahead of myself and do lasagne for tomorrow to sling in oven, Wednesday is busy day with after school stuff with girls picked up at 5:30.. then I may do some knitting!..


    OH has grass to mince and pics to put up!

    [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] Afternoon all :D

    Bossy - Belated Happy Birthday. Hugs to you as well, come back soon.

    Jazee - Congrats!!! :T:T

    Dusty - Hope you feel better soon

    Was MIA yesterday as I was tidying up, catching up on a couple of jobs, trying to work out what I had in the kitchen to menu plan etc :o:rotfl: I did clean the bathroom, took DD to Mr A for her cookery stuff, a look in ge0rge (DD has already picked her new school socks, main school bag and which style of jeans she prefers so they'll get picked up tomorrow), picked up ex a birthday gift & card from DD and grabbed some yellow sticker bread as the only extras on top of my tiny shopping list! Oh and I cut DD's hair Sunday night (£27 saved there! ;)) then straightened it last night to check it was all even properly, then as I was 'trimming the long bits on her fringe' I "slipped" and ended up cutting it in such as way its thinned it slightly ;) I'm hoping she won't come home today with her fringe almost glued to her forehead through sweat!

    Today I'm doing laundry, and accounts. This seems to be the only thing I do lately :rotfl: DD is making the main part of tea, chicken schnitzel, in school. So no preparing for me today, just new potatoes and green beans (maybe something else as well) to put in a pan later :D I'm just glad its not more baking. As much as I love baked goods, I'm getting fed up of bread rolls in one form or another :rotfl:

    Right now I need some lunch, probably followed by an ice-cream as my throat is starting to get sore and drinking isn't helping :(
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
