    That's good news. Have you got a nearer target or are you not going to tempt matters?

    Notty is a student again for the year - it's good to be back but I will have so much to do this year. Making an application to study again from next year too.

    Mortgage is due for pay off in Feb 2014, 53 months, so aiming to get rid of debt before then......its currently £56K, yikes, but I'm pretty confident of shifting it. I will not owe a penny after my 52nd Birthday!!!

    What are you studying?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
