Hi Taxi

Just popping in to say hello. Hope your tooth is okay now. I am so impressed with your finances. I know you want to see it all gone but just remember that all these steps that you are taking make up the marathon.

Can you believe it - I'll be debt free next month. I can't wait! I know my mum was alway worried that I was in debt and it's not something that I want to do again (except for a mortgage).

hope to catch up soon

Hi Taxi, just having a catch up with everyone. Hope your tooth and gum has settled down now, sounds awful.

Plan seems good for March, lots of stuff on there though, make sure you take some time out for yourself. xx

Hi all,
Urg...thanks... great that you'll be debtfree next month..I do hope you will celebrate the event xxx
Penguin....thanks...I don't think I'll get everything done on the list but will try my best.
The tooth is a lot better but the gum still aches probably just bruising or something.

I've been to work and it was okish...every little helps in the grand scheme of things.I'm chasing my tail this month as not using the Amex and have the last months bill to pay so is sort of double payment IYSWIM.
We've just had tea and I've just washed up.There's enoungh bolognese sauce for tomorrows tea...so only the pasta to do tomorrow.
Accounts are up to date and banking was done earlier.I've some washing on the line and some in the dryer.
That's about it from here...I may hoover later if I have the energy.

Taxi, that sounds like a *good* place to be. I feel similar myself, tho I'm not actually as organised as that!

Think I'm going to replace hoovering with nice long soak in the bath instead...lol

Karmacat

Excellent! I did that last night, feels lovely.

You've had a productive weekend again Taxi - tooth is bound to still be a bit delicate but at least you know the worse is over now.

That must be a great feeling URG - I can't wait - but in a funny sort of way I'm a bit wary of going mad and spending and ending up in a right royal mess again. Yes strange I know!!!!!!

I was going to do the soak in the bath thing this evening as well - however, like almost everything else that I "ought" to have done today, I've got distracted by other stuff and not got around to it!

Urg - brilliant stuff, congratulations, And Milann, you won't splurge for long, you know already that the lessons you've learnt from here are deeply ingrained enough now that you wouldn;t go down that path again.

isn't it strange how sometimes you fear being debt free as much as you fear admitting to the size of your debt at the beginning. I know i still have another 18 months to go before i should reach my debt free date but i'm worried that i'm going to waste the money i free up and get back into debt.
