  • This is my 2nd not due til boxing day, left early b'cos I'm the size of a elephant xx

    Just being on this website gives me the motivation to become debt free and although it'll seem like a lifetime I'm positive that with all the dfw's inspiration it'll flyby

  • hi all! Welcome new long haulers! We'll get there in the end but its just a case of plugging away at it! Havent had a good DFW day after spending £51 in tesco and tomorrow have to get cats ashes so that £89 but some things you cannot save on and I couldnt bear for Macey to be just "given" to the vet cos she's part of the family. The good news is that I forgot a payment that was coming in so thats covered that but the bad news is the babysitting "interview" I was going on has been cancelled. Never mind, I'll cope! Have got a quietish weekend and plan to do some cooing, go to the library, get Maceys ashes and join the party on here with a bottle of red tomrrow night! Been consuming o much alch this week so as of next week its back to no drinking in the week & back to counting points! How you all doing?
    Oh yes, re your numbers - hupno has been v. busy with a job interview & relative has died and I know she'll get to them when she can...you dont actually NEED a number to post or anything - its just a bit of fun! She goes through & allocates on when you asked for one so hang in there!

    I've been busy dancing round my house - I've overpaid £115 to his visa and this has brought our DFD forward by a month. I've also been offered a life of balance transfer to my credit card so I *could* move his debt to my card (I owe nothing on mine as it's there for emergencies), which would shave 5 months of the DFD but would mean the debt becomes mine! Decisions, decisions.

    I've had a blip today - bah humbug but at least i finally cashed the co-op divi cheques which paid for the blip. And as it was on veggie seeds it should at least save me money next year when i don't need to buy said veg. How's that for a good justification? maybe i should copywrite it lol
