    Morning........

    Today I have to get DS to his lift for a ski race - thankfully I don't have to do the long drive myself, which is just as well because I can't be in two places at once, which is what the alternative is!

    DD is then skiing elsewhere this morning, then she has her karate grading this afternoon, and I am doing the admin for the grading in return for DD grading for free......then this evening DD is babysitting and I am not yet sure where that leaves me, as the taxi service! OH is working (again), so no help there in getting everyone where they need to be. Sometimes I think doing the extra work shift is the easy option - he only needs to be in one place, thinking about what he needs to do, whereas I need to be everywhere thinking about what everyone else needs to do and at what time!

    OK, have paid off some more from the HSBC card, and my total debt now stands at a fraction under £45,000 :j That is 96% of the way now towards my "pay £20000 off by Christmas" challenge, and according to the snowball calculator, we should be at £40k by the end of the year :D HSBC now stands at £1537 so hoping to have that gone by the end of next month, although there is not so much expected in as "extras" so I will have to raid the quidco/ebay/matched betting machines and generate a bit more to get rid of it!

    Morning one and all.

    Pania good luck today hope it all goes well.

    Hypno sounds like a manic day for you today and I agree working is an easier option. My little girl is only three but it can still be a logistical nightmare being everywhere at the right times especially when working.

    Pania - good luck on your course today, remember that you're immune to germs because you're doing something you love!

    Hypno - oh my word! Under £45k! You must be so, so pleased to see it coming down like this, the snowball really does work, doesn't it. HSBC doesn't stand a snowball's chance :D

    And I definitely agree that the multitasking one has a more difficult job than the one at work - and we all know which way round that usually is ...
