    :T:T:T Well done QoC.

    I want that one but don't think would really be fair as being debt free is down to my inheritance. :o

    I don't think it matters so much how you clear it, it's about the bigger picture. You had debts, your lightbulb moment and what you did along the way to clear it.

    After helping misery guts to sort out his PPI, I blimmin well want that one too :rotfl: he got an offer letter yesterday :beer:

    Everyone's debt story is different. Yes, your inheritance sorted you out but you still lost your mum :A

    You should post your story, as should anyone els here who've become debt free :)

    Morning all :wave:

    Is there a better way to see new posts on here... I'm just hitting refresh every now and then but it seems rather old fashioned :rotfl:


    You will have to be old fashioned with the rest of us. ;)

    Good morning wacky :Anow she is cute and if she knocked on the door that would be fine but it's the teenagers that don't dress up and just put on a mask and want money not sweeties :eek:


    We get those types too nanny...Ive no real problem with the little ones that are dressed up and knock before 6pm...but after that I'm afraid I'm not so hospitable and we do tend to move to the back of the house where we cant be seen so easily!


    It just really surprised me this morning when the door went at 8.30 and 2 smallish children were stood there dressed up....I was expecting the postman!

    Very strange phone call from a Military Museum

    What did I want them to do with the 6 books I had left there?

    :eek::eek::eek:

    I have never been to this Military Museum or owned a military book

    They have my name & address on a pink post it inside one :eek::eek:

    I bet it was someone you know that made a note of your name and address for some reason then it got stuck into a book somehow :)

    Was it the one locally? Just thinking, if I am not getting confused, you used to live down this way and there is a military museum nearby :)

    Are we sure we mean turnips and not swedes? We used to use swedes when we were kids, so difficult to scrape the insides out though

    Depends which part of the country you are in, we had turnips, pumpkins are so much easier to scoop out. My poor dad always made me a turnip lantern and his hands always hurt afterwards
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    That was when I first came across MSE when we had big credit card debt, Mr TS had to leave his trade due to back problem, and our income went down drastically. We built up huge debt over £10k and that didn't include the mortgage.

    He eventually got a liveable wage and we chipped off the debt with balance transfer deals and made our final payment the month before he got made half redundant. And up until mum passed away we managed to live off half a wage with no debt and help of the Elite. :A

    Paying our mortgage off was the final thing with what I was left. :)
