Signs up again- hopefully will knock it all on the head this year.
No it is not an admission to murder....:eek::rotfl:
So i am in for the 20k again.:oBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
Good luck all - I'm seriously debating joining but am in the throes of leaving one job for another so my financial plans are looking a bit uncertain.
I'll join up if I get the new job with the extra £9k salary (if I did get it, I'd be well on the way to being debt and mortgage free by the end of 2012).
Dunno yet - all in the air

Hi Lemon Treelol, the calculator and the abacus and the pen, pad and pencil have all been including with the escher sketch in the making of that figure.
I have been lingering on thing site for a while and where my intenions have been good they have been rubbish also so in 2010, i have taken everything into account, that is the figure I have to pay off to various and included in it is what i want to have at the end, so at every point next year I have no excuse, I know exactly where I want to be and what i want to achieve. All i have to do is figure out how exactly I am going to get there and at present the plan is to spend less and save/debt bust more......
Whilst always remembering to LIVE as life is short.........
