  • Hi all, I need to make the effort to post more regularly on this site (this board in particular). I am having lightbulb moments pinging up all over the place and need to get them sorted!!! Posting here might keep me on track. I really need to pull my belt in for the next twelve months when two of my loans totalling payments of 310.97 will be paid off and I can tackle the credit cards, just need to try and not rack up any more debts in that time.

    aaaw, jacs, your lad looks like a lovely lad.

    looks can be deceptive :D

    pain in the butt but love of my life too!
  • Mine is a 'getting car ready for MOT' day today. New tyres are on, screen wash and oil topped up, light bulb changes, anti-freeze checked.........................so I've done all I can!

    Lovely sunny day here in Edinburgh, although still cold on the face when the wind hits!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hello all
    but of a wierd day today :confused:
    my nephew came round to borrow a dvd or 2 (ok 8),
    we had a bit of a chat,and I couldn't wait for him to go so i could cry:confused:
    he knows i'm in the finicial mire,
    but he would rather spend abit of time with me than with my brother who spends money on him.

    god bless little (and not so little) nephews who cheer you up to the point of tears:A
