    Ireland was brill. Had a really good time. Arrived half 9 in the morning on Paddy's day, drove from international to Belfast to see the parade and walk around. Then off to Cookstown and evening in the pub with bf's rellies.

    Went to Giant's Causeway on Friday and had a really good walk there on top of the cliffs.Saturday was party night for granny. She came half 7 and stayed all the way to the finish at about one'ish boogying in her wheelchair and the next day she was chatting how brilliant the party was! Bless her, she was good fun.

    For Sunday night we came back to Belfast, and went for dinner and some drinks. Can't remember the pub but they had good live music on. Had a lovely night with bf, but somehow things got out of hand after we came back to hotel, something was said either by him or me...ended up saying what was bothering me though, so in a way good thing, but no decisions made yet so not sure which way it's going to go. I need to have a follow up conversation, but want to let him think about what was said and see if he does anything. It's close to breaking point though, a decision will be reached before summer one way or another.

    Sounds like a really good break away :)

    It also sounds like things needed to come to a head with your BF as well so fair play to you for getting it off your chest. Hopefully he will realise what he stands to lose and will cop on a bit. I am thinking of you even though I can't post as much as I was doing.

    How is your MIL Starnac?

    She seems okay. She starts chemo in about 2 weeks so that's good as they originally said that chemo wouldn't help so they wouldn't offer it. DH took DD up to see her today. they should be getting home any time soon. won't see DH til he gets home from work tomorrow night now as he would have left for work by the time i get home in the morning.

    sounds like you had a lovely break tirl.

    CMD - the baby business is hard work isn't it?? glad you are enjoying it though. it's very rewarding

    Hi all!

    It is quiet? Is anyone even doing the challenge anymore? Maybe we should set up a new thread to motivate us all as we all seem to be at different stages but at the same time I love this thread :)

    Hi CMD

    I deleted the challenge from my sig as I didn't keep up with it, would be good to have a new one though as have more debt now than I did before starting this challenge.

    My total debt is just over £20k and want to shift it ASAP, will be easier now I am 4 cards lighter. I got my Nationwide statement today and was great as I've paid it off already so don't have to find £126.

    How are you?
