    Thanks Turfy..have had a bit of exercise this morning as walked to the bank and Aldi and then carried 3 heavy bags of shopping home.

    Have just updated sig as have paid another £130 off BMI,£65.31 capital off Barclays LOB and £460.08 capital off mortgage.....atotal of £655.39 off debt...

    I also have £4000 in the reg saver account but don't count that as off the debts untilI literally pay it off debts ...so am closer to £20k rather than £25k ...so am happy with that.

    Also nowpaid just over £16k off debt since december so happy with that.

    Sorry about the weight gain but someone once told me that water weight can play a part, so perhaps some of it is not 'real' weight gain IYSWIM. I'm sure you'll drop it again in no time. x

    Well had a day off today to rest...lol...but was busier than ever.
    I nipped to Freeport and bought myself a 3in 1 coat and a pair of walking boots and some thermal socks..I was walking around for two hours..LOL..
    Then went and got food shopping,put diesel in and came home for a much earned cup of tea and rest but NO...DS phones and says he has a man at his house removing rubbish and should the man come to quote me..so I say YES..down he comes ..soaid he could do it then for £45 so off I went again to the bank to get some money and then did my vote...got home thought I'd have a cuppa and the man was then back to remove the rubbish.....so still haven't had a cup of tea....lol
    Think that lot can count for my exercise today.
