    Hi everyone, been slipping a bit this past fortnight too. I'm keeping up the commitiments I made, but I've stopped packing lunches, stopped updating the diary, generally been lax.

    Enough!

    Back on the wagon I go.

    Paid 60 today off the cc, and commit to 200 of the loan and an further 60 off the card on Friday.

    So there, that's me told LOL!
