Rage, we met KB when we did the tour of Granada studios years back. He's just like his character!! And you're so right about his hair

Any man who is still wearing jumpers that look as if they're from the 80s deserves respect! Although will somebody please tell Liz MacDonald as was to stop looking like a startled doormouse......;)

Kirstie and Phil said last night that mid 30's was the average age to buy a house, don't despair!

you have done SO well not being in more debt over a year, if you had a set amount for "spends" a month would that help you?

No I'm okay - I meant for Mum2One. How was your wallow? Listed anything else on e-bay? I sold some writing paper the other week - nice set (I bought a job lot with the intention of putting it on a car boot - best intentions etc). Really nice set and £1.20 for 20 sheets and 10 envelopes - also a pen (cheapo nasty not even bic sort of pen). Buyer moaned in the feedback that the pen didn't work! Honestly, I didn't even think to test the pen as it meant opening the packaging.......... You always get one eh? Did you see any of the partial eclipse this morning? I had my NASA eclipse glasses at work - boy was I Miss Popular!! We're going to watch the full NASA stream of the even on the 'net tonight (how exciting me and Mr Rage are :rotfl: ). Righ back to work - "crack".

Well it wasn't so much of wallow, as it was wallow to stop wallowing - cos I have been! (does that make sense)

I really do have to just get on with it. thats it, its not nice, its sometimes not easy but it is what it is.

I have done the very unDFW thing of buying furniture. I had asked on free cycle when CoD (I think) first suggestd it but not had anything come up,

I worked out my debt free date to be dec2009, it could have been september/october without dentist and car and ou and now furniture! but I feel if I want to have any sort of life then I am going to have to spend money!

yes I know that is self indulgent of me, but at the moment I am in job I can't realistically change without being able to drive, I had to get my teeth fixed and I love studying - it is my hobby.

The furniture is a bit more tough to justify even to me, but currently I am keeping Ou work in a box, school work in a box and have very little desk space. I am so tired of it. So I spent 266 pounds on a four pieces of furniture. It keeps me at my debt free date of dec 09 but I figure I will be a lot happier in an organised environment. it will also mean I can work much more at home, no guilt about leaving Mum alone AND not being in a poisonous atmosphere at work.

On the positive side my loan is going down, and the cc bill is 0% so I am ok with that. plus with the second job and hopefully money from Avon and E bay it will work. especially now I have stopped feeling sorry for myself.

sorry if i have disappointed anyone.

Furniture ? You'll be wanting to buy food next Well if it helps put your head in a "good space" as our American cousins say it may well be worth it. I am desperate for shelving in our office but Mr Rage and I only have one pair of hands and we're busy doing stuff on the other house so we can get it let. This weekend I am going to attempt to do some work for the medical transcription service I've signed up for. It is my hope of getting out of work full-time if I can get enough work through it. :j Just been to Pizza Express using the free 2-4-1- voucher and then spent £176 on theatre tickets :eek: - that is about a dozen nights out though so the lad on the booking desk did justify it for us (once Mr Rage and I had finished swearing whilst closing our eyes and handing over the CC!). I am off now to lie down....... :rotfl:
