    You make it sound like you have not done very much at all - you really do impress me with your achievements.

    Hope you are well today.

    Hi all,
    What a beautiful day...lovely and sunny.
    Had a walk to town today and did some banking and had a look in Evans to see if I wanted anything but nothing appealed to me....I have a lot of vouchers left so wouldn't have cost me anything...but it's exercise at least.
    Have done a few loads of washing that have dried nicely on the line...so saving electric.
    Came home and have transferred money around different accounts and have paid another £155 off BMI today..so that's coming down nicely and so close to having paid £15k off debt since december.

    Tonight when DH goes to work ...I'm going to hoover downstairs,check through 09/10 accounts to make sure I've not missed anything off and to make sure they are ready to go to accountants(need to wait for DHS yearly pension slip before sending them) but hopefully won't take me very long..then If I've anytime may sort 3 drawers out in the kitchen as part of my decluttering programme.
    Then walk the dog.

    Then a nice long soak in a bubble bath is called for.

    Hope everyone is enjoying a nice sunny day x

    Thanks.
    Accounts all checked and awaiting DHs yearly pension slip and then can go to accountants....so glad that I brought my new system in last year as it's saved me loads of hassle this year.
    Hoovered downstairs.
    Took dog for a walk.
    Had to go shop as forgot to buy loo rolls.

    Never managed to declutter anything ...so will spend at least an hour tomorrow on that.

    Mum2one..well done on decluttering your wardrobe and drawers....and lol at the knickers.

    BOB..hoping you are ok as not heard from you for ages.

    Awh found you!

    Read a few pages at start and then jumped to end, will read in instatlments as I am intriged how you managed £12k since Dec.

    My DH is self employed (I am thinking you and DH are) and the irregularity (if there is such a word) is a killed, although I am slowly coming to the realisation that I need to manage the business money like I do the household - maybe I need to put it all together and get paying ALL debts.......sorry thats for my diary not yours (I am rambling)

    Now I have found you, I can learn more, thanks xx
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
