    Hiya taxi. I've not been around much, good to see you have a whole new plan. sorry to hear about the tooth. I'm going to the dentist this afternoon and know I need a wisdom tooth out, so I'm dreading that. I am a real baby when it comes to the dentist. Good luck with it all.

    just caught up with your debt busting plans. They are amazing just like you!
    if only i was so close to debt free freedom, but this time next year i will be. I've just got my payslip so i will be able to work out numbers tonight for the next month (my favourite job of the month).
    Have you managed to keep up with doing your accounts daily/weekly? or shall i just shuffle off and pretend i didn't ask lol?

    Thanks LT...it feels like I'm starting to get there with the debts but still a long way to go:cool::cool::cool:

    Good luck with crunching the numbers and every bit paid is a step closer to that great day:T:T

    I am proud of myself with the accounts as they are up to date.I do them either daily or every two days depending on what is going out/coming in business wise.

    I've just updated my sig as 2 loans came out today so another £508.32 off my debt.
    I'm now at over £11k in the £20k challenge so pleased with that.

    DHs new barclaycard came today so he can activate it tomorrow and transfer the balsnce for me.

    Have done the banking and filled the car...couldn't walk today as needed to fill the car.
    Have done the washing.
    Washed the pots.
    Decluttered a massive box of papers

    So have made a start on my jobs list....not done as much as I'd like but it's a start.

    Still tired but managed to go to bed at 3am and get up at 11.30am..so a bit better.I'm aiming to be able to get to bed before 12 so I can get up at 6..so need to really work on that this week.

    Nothing else happening here.

    Now that is the question that I didn't want anyone to ask:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm embarrassed to say that I'm smoking again at the moment.I'm annoyed at myself but do plan on stopping again.

    It is my self sabotage streak ...the same issue with weight loss but intend to tackle both when I've dealt with some background stuff...(if you want to know/understand why) read the last few pages of Wols diary if you've got time.

    I really really want to tackle this crap as I know I do stuff thats bad for me.:mad::mad::mad:

    Taxi, just get quitting on the smoking as soon as you can - you've had a tense few days with what we've been sharing on the other thread.

    I didn't realise on the accounts that you're doing it *that* often - wow! If I can just do it monthly, I'll be far ahead of where I've been.

    And hurray to your decluttering! My friend who came round today noticed how tidy the living room was - mind you, she really *likes* things cluttered, she probably thought it looked terrible :rotfl:
