    Hey Obi, decided to freshen up and get a new diary, also on there is my true debt figure and the figure is SCARY!!!! Im peed off with working full time and getiing nowhere, i need to buck up and amke some dosh, i wanna clear a lot of this by 2012 (in time for my 40th Birthday!) if not all of it!! 51K in 3 years works out at £1400 per month so i may be being a little over confident, however a lot of the debts are on track for being paid off anyhow, 4 clear in 2010 alone and im sure i can clear at least another 4 in that time too. x
    Focusing on clearing the credit cards in 2018 :T

    Hi Elentan, yea i dont wanna be debt free by the time im 40, may be a little overconfident at its approx 51K, OH reckons 5 years, which would make me 42 but thats still a respectable age to be debt free, and whatever comes my way money wise in that time is getting thrown at the debts!

    Weird or what? I was just about to start my yearly "Where is Obi?" campaign and other folks have got there.

    Sorry about troubles at t'mill, as it were!

    Nice photo Mrs T.
