    Thanks K. :)

    I've not posted too much in the last few weeks, for obvious reasons plus I don't have as much time anymore what with cooking, washing and cleaning! :rolleyes:

    Yeah I'm gonna keep the ashes for a bit. It's nice to have him here with me. Just glad he knew where I was living before he left us. :)

    I hope you're enjoying your new flat! I remember the trauma over the purchases. It sounds like Woofer saw it too.

    Ooops. Over a month without an entry! :whistle:

    Probably coz there isn't much to tell. :rotfl:

    Money is tighter than a gnats @rsehole at the moment to be honest. Hasn't stopped me spending it though! :rolleyes:

    Really need to sort out my grocery shopping. Spending about twice what I'd budgetted! :eek:

    Hello, sorry I haven't been around for ages. I'm sorry to hear about Woofer, I hope you're ok.

    Am also up to my eyeballs in overdraft and huge grocery bills so I know the feeling.

    Hey skinty. :)

    Yeah it's still going down. Loan payment is £371 a month and I can't pay less than that so it is still going down thank god. Just need to get back into the groove a bit more! :think:

    Meal planning is the way forward, definitely.

    I'm fine thanks, still in debt, still rubbish, still overspending but hey, I have a noo car which is fabby and I love it so it's all worthwhile. The cycling may have been better exercise but it was getting cold and wet as summer was so rubbish.
