    I am now challenging myself to pay off another £3000 in the next 6 months, by 30th April 2010

    Will be tough as I also intend to save for holidays, car tax and insurance as well, which I haven't done in the past!

    Not planning any big changes, keeping the having a life mantra, but am going to keep a closer watch on frivolous spending and spending caused by poor planning - like food shopping :o

    Bit of thinking going on and reading others diairies (thanks Missy!) I am actually quite comfortable with where I am debt payments-wise and I am happy to let that continue in the background

    What's really bugging me/holding me back/knocking my confidence is my weight!

    So, for the next 8 weeks I am going to make that my focus. I will eat well, cut out excess, make myself exercise AND I WILL LOSE 15LBS BY 24TH DECEMBER

    I will be posting daily updates and doing my weekly weigh in on Thursdays (I will update on SAID as well for those joining me on there)

    To all those who have pledged to join me (you know who you are girls ;)), let's go for it! :D

    I'm going to join you hun!! and no worries, you've inspired me enough.

    Hmmm actually I think I need to do my toe nails might do that in a bit, as you are the pampering queen I always feel bad if I'm a bit of a scruff when in your company. x
