    Just poped another couple payments across on to the cards, doing quite good as just put £300.00 on them in June - (not gd but £100 was holiday depoists next yr).

    But have moved £160.00 across - that should take my repayments to £4429, can not beleve how close I am to the 5k target and were not half way through the year, but then if I have a bad / expensive month / 6 weeks summer holidays, know the payments will be minimum for those periods.

    Took dd to have her wart froze off her toes at the doctors they think it has taken as it had a hard skin cover, so may have to go back in a months time to try again.....

    But while we were there, asked the nurse if she wouldn't mind if I could jump on her scales as couldn't read the reading.... but the good news is I have lost 5kg, apr 1 stone, thats in 6 weeks, so really pleased espically considering I'd been to Devon, was eating treats, clotted cream on most things, couple pints cider a night, I don't know where its gone from, but feel positive.

    The hospital saga, back for physio yesterday, my muscles and ligaments under my knee are all playing up, they've been stretched and moved - its natures way of healing the knee..... but it hurts, shes now concerned about deep vein thrombisis, although I'm ok,gave me a list of symptoms to look for, she asked if she could feel the back of my calves - yep ok, the dodgy knee stiffer, me thinging great I'm musclely - but for the wrong reasons, more exercises to try, got to go back to my go to get some more mediciation.

    Bad news - not allowed to fly, although booked Mexico and Dom Rep next yr, used some of theinsurance money to book a week in Tunisa for me and dd, we were due to go Sunday, but after last time, I didn't want to exixte her and then she comes down with something, got the time off school arranged, homework to do (I'd got some books for maths and english), but the physio won't let me fly course of the knee cap and the fact that I can't put any pressure on the leg, so shes writing to the gp, so that be another insurance claim.... don't think I'll attempt anywhere else this yr abroad!!! xx

    You are doing fantastic on the loan payments...it is amazing how quick we pay debt off when our minds are on the job and of course once you're paying more off the more comes off the actual debt
