    Grrr to squirrels - have you considered adopting a large grumpy cat? It might work out cheaper than human intervention! (mine have both chased squirrels, even though they are about the same size as small cat!)

  • You've had a productive day DIA.

    I've passed the Shard many times, but alas never been in it, I don't think I'd stand the height to be fair.

    Grr to the squirrels too.

    Hope that the gardener isn't too expensive. x

    Bad news on the squirrels DIA.

    I hope the gardener can do the work for a reasonable price. My front garden is tiny but the back is large and takes so much work, but luckily its something I enjoy. I wouldn't be too embarrassed. I bet you don't have the springs from a double mattress like I do.

    Enjoy the massage.... Jealous.

  • I totally get where you're coming from DIA, it's something that you have been used to for such a long time and it is nearly gone.

    It's finally breaking the chain and it is going to be different but I think it will be a good different.

    Have a lovely day x

    Its completely understandable DIA. I guess many of us have been in debt so long the thought of being debt free is unimaginable.

    The thought of the unknown is scary but its going to be good.

    Oh and if you don't want to do something when debt free don't do it.

    Your cheerleaders will be here for you.

    I am worried to be debt free , the first time round I was actually £2000 in debt after paying off my DMP because I was in such a rush to pay it off.

    This time round has been completely different, I am able to live fairly well , my biggest worry is that when I am debt free I will mess it all up .

  • Hi DIA

    I think what you're feeling is completely natural. You're facing change and that's always unsettling. I don't know if you'd find this helpful - it's something I use when I'm planning for a new stage. Do feel free to give it a stiff ignoring if it doesn't work for you though :)
