I'm trying to do low carb don't ya know :rolleyes:
**squirrels away the jaffa cakes to scoff when no one is looking**
Sea, I am not entirely sure how much I have cleared since I joined the site, but I think it is somewhere in the region of £50-60k......I know that at the end of my first year, I "came clean" and added my proper amount of debt together......and it came then to £64k, which would mean that in two years I have cleared £43k.....so if I did £10-£15k in that first year, I guess that would be about right, given that early on in the journey, more was going on interest than on capital.....
SF, yes, it certainly does look a whole lot better than it did on that first posting......I wonder what I will be typing this time next year :cool:
Crappy day at work today.....It is such an intense place to work - when everything is good, it is buzzy and good-stress.......busy, but nice manic.....but when it is bad, it affects the whole place, and there is lots of negativity and pressure about with bad-stress by the bucketfull........and we have had one of those days today where we will just all be pleased to be at home this evening.......:rolleyes:
Day 2 of no carb....it has been a struggle as I NEEDED that sugar kick today. But I was strong........Ok, so actually I didn't have TIME to go out and buy cake/chocolate even if I could have, so the job was done for me, and I stuck to my ham salad instead :A
Everyone else is having pasta tonight - so I will have to do myself something different, because I wasn't that well organised when I did my shopping after all.....but it is the apple crumble that they are having for pudding that I am really going to find difficult :eek:
