    And my Asda vouchers for this quarter have just arrived, which is great as our shopping account is looking a bit sparse at the moment.

  • cheers guys........I'm hoping to shake it off but I do feel its all a bit of an act at the moment, trying to be cheerful etc. I don't want to end up back onthe anti-depressants, it was a bad 'situation' which put me on them in the first place as I know some of you know, but I'm not really sure what has triggered it again (albeit not nearly as bad as last time) I feel like Dorey in Finding Nemo - just keep swimming, just keep swimming........(ahem, showing my film knowledge there!!)

    i'l be going out in a bit (after the crumpets I've just done for breakfast!) to see my doggy - he's always up for a big cuddle.

    Nicer things though - Gemmzie - huge congratulations - that is a fantastic prize!!!!!!!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Morning All
    I haven't been on a morning thread for ages. Although I read the post nearly everyday and keep in touch with everyones stories I feel really out of touch and a bit of a fake. Why can't I get my !!!! in gear and just pay off these debts! Anyway I have decided that 2008 is my year, sort my finances, sort myself out and my lazy DH..grrrr.
    Anyway glad everyone is ok on this very very windy morning...got to walk Daughter and myself to work later which is 2 miles away, think we shall be a bit windswept when we arrive!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Gemmzie, wow, well done!!! :T

    IA - Yes, come and live with me, no problem - it's a bit 'parky' in the folding camper in January but there's plenty of room in there for you all! I saw that job too, in fact I desperately want to work for the CCCS, but I just can't do the shifts they advertise, and they never seem to have anything part-time.

    The Asda vouchers are a work benefit, I get them every quarter and they pretty much cover a months shopping and petrol. :T Although I'm wondering whether to budget really hard this month and buy a new laptop with them. :o

    oooh I might have to give that a miss... I like being nice a snuggly warm in january rather than freezing my nips off in a folding camper.. lol Thanks for the offer though :D
    I have, however, just filled in the online form to become a CAB volunteer so fingers crossed! Little steps and all that...

    Oh and I say buy a laptop :D
