It will be great to know that you will have the security of having your CT & rent arrears sorted to secure your house, catandy. The feeling of peace that will give you will be worth more than rubies.
Keep going - I suspect you are going to be massively successful at this! :beer:Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

Hi Catandy,
just read your diary through from the start and am about to subscribe. Will be cheering you on from the sidelines!

Kids eh. I’d have done the same. Great to hear from you, thrilled that the job is going so well. Living alone is bloody fantastic, you are going from strength to strength and I’m another one that’s cheering you on0

I've just read your diary from start to finish, and the tone from your first posts is completely the opposite of the last posts; well done you!
Now that you are the single occupant of your home, and the single driver of your car, are their any taxes/insurances that you can lower? Can you change the timings on your thermostat, now that the home is empty during the day? Good luck!

This is me! :rotfl::o
Alas, for the ocularly challenged such as us, it's more of a 'need' and less of a 'want.' I once went to a beautician who did my eyebrows and she asked who had done them before me.
You know that polite silence when someone is trying to be kind by not saying anything? Yup...it was that one! :rotfl:Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

I colour my own hair, have done for years, even do my own highlights and just have it cut every six weeks. Cheap as chips. Great to hear you continuing to sound so upbeat, onwards and upwards0
