hey guys, how goes it???

I know it's been such a long time since I was on, but I'm a little bit tipsy and bored out of my skull so while killing time online thought I'd have a quick catch up!

Since I last posted I cancelled the last of my credit cards :j all I have left now is my new look store card which gets paid off if it ever gets used and is only kept as I have a 20% off voucher and a holiday wardrobe to buy, whicch brings me nicely to my booking my first proper adult holiday witha couple of friends to malia in greece in 39 days, but who's counting eh?

I'm also on the hunt for a new job, I've discovered (through a friend who I'm off on hols with) that I can get a good 4k more a year doing the same job I am now but within the oil industry and as she happens to be a recruitment consultant she is well placed to help me, had one job interview (didn't get it as they thought I'd want to progress too quick!?!? since when was ambition bad?) and she is putting me forward for another 4-5.

Still no man in my life (well in any permanent capacity) but I'm happy about that really. Other than that I've been taking some time out from money saving and spoiling myself with a few new bits of clothing etc but now I really need to buckle down and work on maintaining my position. If I want to be able to shop every week the way I did today then I need to get my finger out!!!!

I hope this doesn't sound like bragging, after all these months of moneysaving with you all I'd hate you to think I was rubbing it in or anything, but I've had a few messages asking where I've been and what I've been up to and wanted you all to know I'm still here!

I hope your all doing well, how are all those mse babies doing (mrs s, IA etc)? I bet they are all getting big now, and pap, how are the driving lessons getting on? the moving house? Is lenny still six metres under?? :rotfl: oh tell me everything!!!!

Hi LJ!! Good to hear your catch up news.

Good luck with the job hunting - £4k will make a huge difference! And sounds like the holiday will be fab.

Keep on posting here, just because you have got rid of the debts as they were, doesn't mean that they are gone for ever. You need to keep your finger on the DFW pulse to make sure you don't end up back in square one!

Hope your head is not suffering as a result of the "tipsyness" last night!!

Hi LJ, Good to see that things are going well. Does this mean that you are totally Debt Free now since you are clearing the card each month?

Hope you log in once in a while. We missed you and had your name put up on the Missing DFW Thread

Yup, it would appear that this girl is debt free! (well apart from my mortgage and student loan) I do not have a single credit card in my wallet, tho I did apply for the amazon one last night, was ordering dvd's for my stepdad's bday next week and I was getting £15 off, obviously it'll be used once or twice to keep them happy then it'll be cancelled and chopped up! I'm not being daft this time! As much as I loved being a dfw I will never be going there through choice again!

don't worry I'll not be diong anything crazy like fulfilling my life's ambition to have a convertable bmw or anything. but only cause it wouldn't last five minutes outside my house! :rolleyes:

I wold love to finally be driving tho, there are so many things I want to see and do in Scotland before I go galavanting over the world and it's really hard to get outside the city without a car. maybe rather than buy one I could rent when I feel a road trip coming on???

Oh speaking of convertables, I've got a very funny story about three posers and a rain cloud! :rotfl:
