    Wow, the overpayment is ***huge***, taxi, well done - however did you manage that? Well done whatever - lobbing that sort of money at the debt, and still managing to have holidays is brill. The holiday sounds brill too, I wonder if I could pretend to be an air stewardess [KC twists her hair up and nicks Taxi's makeup]. Nope, ah well.... you deserve it!

    Thanks KC...The overpayment was DHs compensation and some holiday money that was left over.So wasn't an achievement ....I would've liked to have paid more of the left over holiday money but some of it was needed for bills.
    Nothing happening today as it's our day off and I've only been up about an hour...lol.So just the usual washing,checking banking etc etc.
    Going to the gym tonight to a aqua class but it's a combat class in water...it's a one off at the moment with a view to being put on the schedule at a later date...sounds fun(hard work) anyway.
    I've decided to make use of the gym this year as I want a sort of bikini body for my hols instead of the beached whale look....hard work and minor miracle needed on that front as nearly 9 stone to go!!!!!!
    We have a meal out for my birthday and the day after I'm giving up smoking and the day after that I'm joining SW and taking my DS with me as he wants to join.
    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    Taxi I'm sure you don't look like a beached whale (I do mind and the fact that my swimming cossie is black and white doesn't help with the Orca look!)

    I do look like one honestly...but am determined to knuckle down and change that as it affects my confidence and probably my health.

    It was a long time coming so guess it will be a long time going!!!!! but if I can at least get rid of half of it or more by my hols.I'll be happy.So the gym and healthy eating it is then...will have to be careful with my back and hips and build up slowly...I have the insert in my trainers so that should help.

    Good grief you are very determined.:T You will get there i have every confidence.

    Hi taxi, the image of you as a bikini babe cavorting in the tropical waters is definitely good motivation to pursue your goals. I am jealous! I know you'll get there too as you are so determined.

    Thanks for your votes of confidence you two.This is the year that I'm going to sort my life out once and for all...no excuses...If I'm flagging you can give me a swift kick up the butt!!!!.
    Think I'll go and have a nice soak in a bubble bath before my gruelling exercise class tonight.(gruelling to me as I'm a lazy git)
    Turned the mattress over on the bed last night and slept a bit better so that's a start.
    Back to work tomorrow with a vengeance and hopefully to make loads.

    I think I could manage the bubble bath bit but the exercise class is a no go! :rotfl:, I need people to kick me up the proverbial as well to lose my blubber!
