    Hi MF I find it really hard when I have time off work and when visitors come to stay.

    Yeah tell me about it. When my parents come up to visit, I feel guilty as they have travelled all that way to visit, so I have to make sure I stock up on nice things to eat and drink for them. Also being off work we had a few days out, trips to cinema!!!!

    Back at work now, so just got to dig back in.

    Hi folks,

    Firstly, I just want to say sorry for no updates for awhile.

    I hope everybody is well and happy, especially in light of the recent weather. I don't know whether this weather is having an affect on me, but I have been fairly down lately and stuck in a rut. I just can't seem to keep on motivating myself for debt busting and indeed keeping fit.

    I will try and keep the updates more frequent. I think I need a rethink, I think I need to change.

    I have been reading a book recently called 'The 7 habits of effective people' and I must say it is very good.

    There was a quote in the book from Marilyn Ferguson.

    'No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal'

    It is indeed MrsP. I am still reading the book and I must say it is very good. Sometimes these self-help books can be a bit condescending, but Stephen Covey's book is very good

    Yes he is one of the better ones. We use his time management system at work - Franklin Covey and I must admit it suits me and my job :)

    Hi Folks,

    I have started a new chapter for a fresh start. Let's hope I can keep my self-discipline and get out of this debt once and for all.
