  • I'll declare on New year's Eve as that's the next payday I'm limping too. The accounts looking healthy enough up to last till then but mainly as the plumber we have been trying to get to call hasn't been.

    Keeping everything crossed for you. Not long now until NYE :). Overdraught or overdraft, whoops, spelling.

    I am hoping so. It will be slow until my MOT in Feb, then, fingers crossed I can go for it. I am just ploughing money into the MOT fund, if I am really lucky I will have some left to make a small dent in the debt in Feb. :)
