    Evening all - very excited because it is my birthday tomorrow, yeay!!

    I have the whole day off work so off out for lunch with family and then mum and dad are doing a buffet at theirs in the evening.

    OH paid off one of his debts today that he had negotiated a settlement on so need to update the figures but we are very close to 50% paid off.

    Lost 1lb at Slimming so update as follows:-

    Goals as follows.

    - Lose 7lbs by Halloween 1/7 (weigh in on 7/14/21/28 October)
    - Pay off Rob Way (f/f settlement accepted) DONE
    - Complete deep clean/declutter of kitchen in progress but getting there
    - Wii fit for 30mins 4 times a week - up to date and I am hoping for some of the Wii fit personal trainer games tomorrow for my birthday!

    As we have paid off Rob Way this month I will also aim to clear Capital One by Halloween - approx 500.00

    See you all tomorrow x x x

    Evening all - thank you so much for the birthday wishes, had a great day and got some lovely pressies off everyone. A new bag from my team at work, perfume and wii fit games off OH and the kids and clothes and books from mum and dad. OH also gave me £100.00 that he had been saving so I can buy myself some new clothes - I have dropped 4 dress sizes and still wearing a lot of my old clothes which are falling off me - yeay!

    Went out for a meal and then a little party at Mum and Dads (at DD's insistance) so I gained 3lbs at Slimming this week but I am not too concerned because I enjoyed gaining every one of those 3lbs - now to try and get them off for next week though!

    Debt totals are really motivating - I have less than £300.00 to go to pay off Capital One (maybe by the end of the month) and 4 more payments of 300.00 to clear BarclayLoan.

    The best news of all is that the personal debt in my name only is now less than 10k (9410.96 to be exact) and our overall debt is now just over 25k.

    Hope everyone is well x x x

    Thank you - just wish I could have birthdays every day.

    Trying to do as much as we can before December and hopefully it won't all go horribly wrong then - starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now which is just as well as the house is beginning to fall down! x
