    Here's to a good November, indeed!

    As for me taking it easy, or otherwise, I think I will just see how things pan out - I have a lot of running to fit in, for example, so need to make sure I leave enough time for that etc!

    No housework done this weekend, so have failed there, but so what! I am still buzzing over the fact that I managed to run 6 miles today :j

    Wow - 6 miles is brilliant. I love your new piccie....it's fab! I managed to colour in another 9 squares of my chart!!!! Hopefully another 2 when the child allowance comes in unless I decide it would be better to actually feed my children!!! Have a good week xx

    Edited to add - the child allowance had landed and i've paid it off the card.....50 meals on £25 will be my next thread!!!!

    Monday again! Two loans have come out of the bank so I can update the signature and colour in my squares - but the snowball page has an error so I can't update it at the moment :mad: It should show about £500 reduced from the total though, so I will be trying to update it later in the day!

    Hope you all have a good day today x

    Oh Hypno, you're getting so close to the £40k mark, I hope you get there before Christmas - I *bet* you will!

    Morning Hypno - been a bit of a lurker recently, but I've still been reading.

    I was just looking back to the start of your diary, and noticed your plans covered September and October. I wondered how you were feeling now that period was over. You seem to have accomplished a lot of the things you set out to do. Has it made life better/easier for you? Do you feel more organised and less frazzled at all?

    Snaggles, hello!! Yes, a lot of things are a lot less frazzled......the house is still a mess though, so perhaps I have to consider the fact that this is how it is "supposed" to be :confused: The running has made a big difference, though, because it makes me get out of the house 3 or 4 times a week and do something for "me" rather than anything else, and that was something that I badly needed to do I think.

    Moneywise, we haven't paid so much off the debt, as we might otherwise have done, but that was all written into the plan, so I am not worried - and of course I have just spent money on concert tickets so November will also not see so much of a reduction, but it is nothing to be concerned about, and the minimums are still being met etc, so no need to worry!

    bouncing them doesn't seem to be the problem, but catching them - well, there's another matter entirely!
