    Love the challenges, have to join you with the weight loss - thats the next plan of action.

    Belated bday wished for JJ.
    Glad you had a good time with grandaughter down.

    Hows the weather, we noticed the difference today coming back from Devon, the further North we were going the colder it was and we're not as far as you.

    WOW..what a day!!!...The snow is here..AGAIN and now iced over!!!
    Struggled taking the car into the garage today and they phoned at dinner time to say that it needs a new clutch again...luckily under warranty..they asked if I wanted to pick it up but decided to leave it there until they get it fixed.They are hoping that it will arrive tomorrow but with the snow can't guarantee it...so fingers crossed.

    On the MSE front...my min payment for halifax CC came out today £53.92 and barclays statement says £69.19 off capital so £123.11 today off debt today.

    Am happy that Halifax CC is now under £5k...I have some cash here to pay off it but couldn't walk to the bank today so will try tomorrow.

    My £20k challenge total is £5077.15/£20k.

    20k challenge total looking mighty healthy there Taxi!

    I'm starting to feel left out with all this snow - we've not got a flake here yet, although I get the feeling that might be about to change soon enough!

    Good luck with the clutch arriving tomorrow.

    You seem to have a lot done to this car under warranty. What kind is it?

    It's a Vauxhall Vectra and it's been nothing but trouble!!!
    I wish I had the money to buy something else but I haven't so need to persevere...I wouldn't have had this car if that !!!!! hadn't wrote the other one off!!!
    I have too much finance on this one left to pay.
