BOB'S pot being blacker than her kettle

Ah yes, time to resurrect the old diary.
Having been pestered a few times and being MSE :money:through and through, i thought it was time to hop on my trusty steed and canter on down here to keep me on the straight and narrow.:p Plus i did miss being on here, the banter, the innuendo and generally the kick up the bahookie when i needed it
As you may recall i have a few pesky turnip related problems-and it is mainly these i want to concentrate on :eek:
There is one final joint related debt i want to kick to the kerbside and stuff a massive turnip up its Jacksie:cool: Other than the mortgage-which i also want to kick to the kerbside
So where have the last few years gone to?
We have had a few lean years, as youngest boblet was at Uni and needed to be budgeted for. She has now finished:j but cost a fortune
I have gained a grandchild who lives in the darkest reaches of t'other end of the country and needs to budgeted for ( after all i am not an absent grandparent) :beer::smileyhea
I have been poorly with Meneires disease-took ages for a diagnosis and to sort itself out so i could function without looking like a wobbly, weebly turnip...:rotfl:
It is more vital than ever that if i want to pay off this debt ( he still has others but past followers will know that i no longer bother about them:cool:) and so be able to afford to comfortably travel and work.
Hope you will all support me as much as you have done in the past. x
So budget, budget and more budgeting.......:D
