    Archery and wii fit together sound brilliant, taxi - and I agree, doesn't it take a long time to keep up with the people you want to keep up with on here! :) I wonder about the ones I don't see for a while ... Olive ... I know duchy's still here, but don't see much of her .... even Bob, I don't see her around so much.

    Yes it takes me ages especially on the busier diaries.


    It's been a beautiful day here and have been to work..did ok...have just taken a card to DS3 for his birthday tomorrow and walked the dog and hung some bedding on the line to dry.
    Nothing much to report ..just trying to earn the money for the end of month bills.

    Hi Taxi

    There is a nice post for you on the MFiT -T2 thread in case you have not seen it and I agree with it I won't be paying any actual mortgage debt off until next year at the earliest I just added all my debt to the challenge and you will be mortgage free before me so I don't think you should give up you need a challenge as you are going to smash the 20K challenge.

    Don't you just loathe that whole 'now who am I going to pay this month' thing.

    I very much enjoy seeing the debt coming down but working out who and how much (which I never get totally right) is hard work!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    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!

    Hi Taxi, just catching up, I am useless at keeping up so apologies if this is out of date!

    Well done on the weight loss, not long till the stone, keep it up.

    Hope the just dance is good, have been looking at that but a friend in work recommended one of the Davina work out DVD's. With OH at work at nights I dont mind looking like a state, just hope I dont get any unexpected visitors!

    Well done on your payments as well, not long till you have achieved the 20k challenge, good stuff! xxxx
