    Debt-free and Proud!
    hi taxi - thanks for dropping by. Am fine just really hectic at work - will continue for the next fortnight I think then I am off for a couple of weeks. Have to go to London tomorrow which is a pain but can't be helped. And just feeling a little overwhelmed by the stuff that needs doing. At the moment simply trying to keep head above water not trying to overpay or anything. Is all a bit mad.

    Thanks for asking! :)

    Nothing planned - except to try to catch up with stuff re. dfw and take stock of priorities. Plus - if the weather holds - some cheap days out walking the dogs in different parts of wonderful Yorkshire!

    Thanks - have another week at work after this one so anything could happen to the weather by then but I hope there are a couple of dry days at least :) bob am a bit frazzled - July has been a disaster for debt busting - but get paid tomorrow so will start again from there. But I have to sort out the work stress - I potentially have another 20 years of this :eek: :eek:

    Hi guyz!

    Mizmir - I have just read your thread from start to finish - it's taken about 5 hours (spot the guy who's bored at work!!!!) and I have to say you've all cheered me up no end. You're an inspiration to those of us just starting out. Lots of good ideas to get me off on the right track although I don't know where you all find the time to do all you do!
    I really need to get onto this Matched Betting lark, but read the thread and might have to re-read it a couple of times to get the finer points.
    I have subscribed to your thread - hope you don't mind me muscling in!
