    Hi fellow 12 week challengers!

    Late this week reporting in as I was waiting for payday so here goes:

    1. Pay £1200 off debt - I've done it!!!!!!!! :j Only have £399 to go to be debt free!

    2. Lose 7lbs - lost 3lbs but am back at WW goal weight so pleased with that anyway.

    3. Buy all Christmas presents - will have hopefully achieved this by the end of today as I'm off to the Boots Advantage Card Christmas Shopping Event.

    4. Save/pay for all March holiday associated costs - fluffed this one a bit by introducing August holiday costs before I should've done but have everything paid for bar the spending money. However, have paid for flights and deposit for August holiday.

    5. Ebay - have finally got around to this one and have listed all the stuff I want to get rid of. Only sold 2 things so far though.

    Hope everyone else is making good progress!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Sorry I have been very slack updating and changing the title....so is this the last week ??? Off to have a look at my calendar

    Feel I have failed rather miserably.

    I think the next challenge should be much shorter so we can acheive and see results and then continue it again allowing people to re-evaluate
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...
