    It's amazing how not having a phone has cut my internet time. A good thing really but has not helped my focus.:o, along with another bout of chronic insomnia. :mad: I've tried every idea apart from medication which is a route I don't want to go down.

    Debts have been paid this month and hopefully I will be able to pay off a bit more when all the dd's have been paid.

    The signature is updated and I'm slowly chipping away. I have another £280 to find to pay off the MBNA card completely. Oh how I would love to get rid of it. A bit of thinking out of the box is needed. Its a small amount really and I should really be able to find that shouldn't i?

    There's not much else going on really so I will be back when I'm a bit less boring.:rotfl:

    Have a good week all.

    Sorry you are not sleeping well :(

    I think you can totally do the MBNA debt. Think how great you will feel to have it behind you :)

    You've been quiet for a few days. It is allowed :) but wondered how you are?

    Sorry. Its been a bit full on here and I've been in a funny old mood. Trying to make decisions takes it out of me. I will be updating soon.
