  • Hi long haulers :wave:

    Hope you are all well

    So sorry there I am offering to keep the records and then I promptly dissappear for a couple a days. I have logged in but then - how annoying is this - people want my help at work :confused:

    So just a quick note to tell you that I havn't forgotten I'm on the case and will make a start over the weekend.

    Best wishes

    Afternoon Long haulers

    Hope everthing is ok after the forced holiday we had.

    Managed not to dip into my OD just. Pay day today and i had 13p in my account. Thought i would get my beer for the month today so popped over to Calais for half an hour. 6 cases for £20. Big saving. Nice living near to France when i can just pop over and it only costs me £2 return. Love being pulled over by customs as they find it hard to believe i only pop over for a short time. Nothing to declare i am afraid.

    Hope you are all well and catch up later

    Can I join please. DFD is 2012 and that is before I even think about getting back on the property ladder.

    I will be 31, maybe I will be able to bring it forward so I am DF before 30.

    Hello

    LH update: I've overpaid enough this past couple of months on W's visa to bring the DFdate forward to 2010 (from 2011). It hasn't been too painful but I think we'll try another FRUGAL month next year (I'm on holiday next week and I know its going to be hard - I may have to find an internet cafe)!
