cheers lynz!!! thanks for the support hun. i just want to be rid of this debt so any tiny saving i can make is a step closer!!
i do try and do all the challenges sometimes i achieve them and other times i dont, but if i dont i just see this as another challenge. my kids spur me on as they love the savings lark as much as i do ( they have been asking me for days to empty my piggy ).
since i joined the site in may last year i have learned so much and saved so much too!!! so craigp....you will get there it just takes a bit of time and loads of determination!!November NSD's - 70 -

Hey Jamie
Well done and just to think when you did your first post on this thread you aimed to have your debt paid off by the end of 2007! A bit later in this thread you stated that your debt free date is April 2007 - wow! - knocked 8 months off!
I think you have totally the right attitude that will ensure your success, i.e. by making it a fun 'game' for your kids to join in with - 'how much is in the piggy bank' etc...so they will learn about money etc!
Brilliant!
I always say this but all of us on this board look forward to another 'member' becoming debt free and we will be here when you do it!
Take care!
Annie
