Welcome back jelly babies! TBH I have no idea how I do it....I just do!

Right now I am so looking forward to my days off next week even if it is simply so that I can tidy up! Having those 2 extras in here this evening have made me feel even more "cluttered" than usual, if that is possible! They have now gone to bed, but this evening I have even lost my laptop to MSN for a 10 year old........I think I may have lost my sanity too somewhere along the way, and heaven help them if they chatter their way through the next couple of hours! I am doing my friend a favour while she goes off and has a lovely time doing lovely things I can't afford to do, and yet it has cost me in extra food, packed lunches for tomorrow, pizza for dinner tonight etc. Bah!

And OH rings me and asks why I am snappy

It is times like this when I just want to finally sit in an ordered room, with space and calm, candles alight on the hearth, and a large glass of red wine.

The reality is trying to clear a space to sit on the sofa, with nothing more exciting than a glass of water because I am taking these pills for my neck, and I have run out of squash!

Hi Hypno - Just wanted to say well done on the debt busting and the running - I cant wait to see your total fall below £40K - i remember reading ages back when you 'revealed' the full extent of your debts including the ones you hadn't been counting, it seems like such a long time ago, but really it isn't is it - you've done so well - I think there will be a massive DFW party the date you become Debt Free!
Hope the neck gets better soon

do you mean that the housework fairy will visit while I am asleep

MissO - thank you - yes it is almost a year since I revealed the scary number - I was thinking that soon I will have to start my next challenge as the last one started on 1st December.

If I can pay off the same amount next year as I have done this year, then we will be down to about £15k of debt - In fact, If I clear everything bar the secured loan by the end of next year, I will be down to about £11k which will be awesome!

Then I can start looking at houses

Ooooh - houses... I'm with you on that one, we need to be looking at houses too

That will be a day to celebrate...I'm up for a new challenge as well so will join you if it'sok as this one has kept me motivated.

TFI Friday :j Last day at work before "operation super-blitz" takes place, and one week until payday.....

Hopefully I will go for a run this evening - 4 or 5 miles depending on how much energy I have!

GTD, If I knew that I could get a decent sized mortgage at a good rate, I would get my house on the market now, clear the debts, and buy something soon - there are some really good bargains coming along. Sadly, I don't think that lenders would give me the multiple of income that I would need to buy the place that I want.

But this time next year.....the debt will be much lower, and hopefully there will be a lot more choices, mortgage wise, etc etc etc. It keeps me going!
