Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

HairyHandofDartmoor

Our bunny is extremely dumb purplemum. When we let him out of his cage he runs around the living room trying to bite electrical wires, shoelaces, the skirting board; you name it and he tries to chew it :doh:

He's also very moronic when it comes to his food; he doesn't know it's there even if it's right in front of him :doh:

But he's very cute so we love him anyway

Lol he sounds like a right character

He certainly is. He's old enough to know better too because he's four years old which is probably middle aged for a bunny . He may be useful at Easter though :rotfl:

Now I want a ripple and I have no chocolate in the house! Well done on passing straight past the sales, its hard not to think 'oh I'll just have a quick look' and then spend a few quid before you can even stop yourself.

I didnt realise mentioning the word Ripple would cause so many cravings :rotfl:

I've done that so many times DFD but I refuse to be lured in now. I just think, yeah up to 50% off the stuff you couldn't sell at full price because it's probably rubbish to start with.

Posting on here every day helps too

You are right about sales stuff. I have so much stuff that I don't use that has been bought in sales. A lot of it is going in a car boot sale next week. Is it wrong that I now fancy chocolate at 0747 after reading these posts? HaHa!

The chocolate cravings strike again Bonnie :rotfl:

Thanks purplemum

Today's plan is to take a broken floor fan, a shedding rug, a hose for our previous Hoover and a large dead plant to the tip.

I may not have mentioned before that one of my goals is to de-clutter the entire house to make cleaning easier and for more efficient living. I love a minimal look but it's hard to achieve in a house with four messy adults and one tidy one :mad: (can you guess which is which?) Yesterday I took some of DH's old shirts, two books and some clip frames to the charity shop. I try and offload some clutter every Saturday

DH is planning a second coat of paint on the front door (I'm so pleased he's doing this), whilst I need to do more laundry and clean the bathroom. And it's finally stopped raining :T

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Hi Hairy Hands!

I just read through your diary and so many similarities between us with the way debt has accrued and the challenges of living to a budget. Well done on negotiating those Full and Final payments and I hope so much you get good news tomorrow from your last creditor.

I will subscribe and try to give you some of the care and support you have given me to get through my very dark times. Thank you so much for that - literally life saving and the value of these forums is down to people like you taking the time to support others xx

There nothing like a good visit to the tip. Or am I just being weird.

So many people on the diarys decluttering. I wonder who will be the first to finish.

Have a fantastic day.
