Evening Brogden,
Sorry but last night's lengthy reply disappeared into cyberspace and I'm going to blame my carp broadband connection as we live literally in the middle of nowhere and internet connection is via satellite. Aaaargh!
(Nothing to do with the very lush Rioja, honest)
Anyway don't be disappointed with your score on the door for debt reducing, the good thing is that it's downward and not increasing. Be proud of yourself because your tackling it and I think that's what's important.
You're doing brilliantly.
Happy weekend, Helena:j

Hi Helena,

I am so sorry that I missed your lengthy reply. I love a lengthy reply !!

Whilst it has taken two or three years, I am sort of 'self realised' and whilst the financial events of the last month (getting rid of two predators whilst one returns for an encore) are not completely the events I would wish for, this does not really affect my mood too much

Its like managing a football team....going for the title but you're a fool if you think you are going to do it without dropping some points somewhere as you go along!!

Speak soon.

Morning!

Barry Manilow - have you seen him doing the rounds on the TV, he can hardly speak his face has is so stiff with botox and plastic surgery I digress......

Your speech was brilliant - don't be disheartened, any decrease is not an increase. Pat on the back and your fun sense of humour is still intact. I enjoy reading your updates, you have a great way with words. hope you can enjoy a relaxing Sunday.

Just shows that money doesn't buy happiness. I haven't seen him but am glad really as his music reminds me of my mum. Although I'll take the therapy as long as it's free - have subscribed - do I get the free champers too :rotfl:

The therapy is free SS but I have retracted the offer of champagne !!

You and I are sharing a bottle of discounted sparkling flavoured water from B & M Bargains. It cost me 29p.

Bottoms up :rotfl:!!

You do know SS....you must be kidding !!

Its a pound shop chain - they've got millions of stores!!!:)

If you don't have them in your area now you will soon I'm sure

I'm not a shareholder honest.......if I was I wouldn't need a DMP!

Have a great week

Well Brogden,

I have made it from start to finish after picking up at around 8:30 this evening.

My song of choice for your blog is Imagine Dragons - It's Time and if you don't have the necessary equipment to listen to it, then google them there lyrics (I am in no way trying to state that you have no ears. I am sure you are very eary. I meant speakers.. headphones.. etc! )

I would like to know where one can buy shares for Brogden Towers; after reading the shareholders meeting notes, methinks there is never a better time to buy and you're sure going places :D

Also, I read way back there... that you BOUGHT peppercorn sauce. *tut* - have you a beef oxo cube, and equal amounts boiling water & cream? A few crushed peppercorns, or even some bog standard ground black pepper, simmered on a low heat until thickened and there is a lovely sauce, with the spare cream left over for all manner of things. Korma perhaps, or on some pud?!

Lovely to be able to pop in and finally meetcha, instead of bumping into you haphazardly in the corridors of other diaries

Your 'Onwards and Upwards' is the catchphrase of another legendary MSE'er NinjaSavingKat. She dragged me up by my bootstraps when I joined her journey. Whilst I paid off £3000 or so, the lady paid off £16500. She then went on to total another £14k in savings after paying off the debt and is in her first couple of weeks of an epic adventure around the world. So when I see you say that, I know that it is true. Genuinely, there might seem like there are two directions, with one being far less palatable, but you are here, with friends and fellow MSE'ers. Continue to post, everything... minutiae of your day, nitty gritty things that you feel like sharing.. You will feel that much better for it. A problem shared, is halved, and likewise a victory is doubled for every person who shares it with you.

Apologies that it is Monday tomorrow. I will be feeling your pain on Tuesday. I normally work Weds - Fri but am subbing in a Tuesday to allow me hours at the hospital on Thursday. Soul destroying really... Tomorrow I need to make food for the week and get a bit more creative than the banana bread and lasagne I attempted for the first time today. T'ain't gonna feed me for long

Hugs to you n yours!
