    I really wish I can be debt free next year before my birthday. S. loan will now be def paid before end of this year, probably early December. Can't wait for that to be gone! Will be such an achievement.

    Not too bad, have a bit of a sore throat today but apart from that okay. Still a bit annoyed about the amount of debt but we spent the money so its our own fault!

    I'm sure you'll get that down pretty quickly.
    I'm bit annoyed about my lack of effort to raise extra funds by selling on ebay,still have a few things to put on,but no motivation. Amazon has totally dried up for me and I don't really have anything new to put on there. Am 65p away from Onepo11 payout though. Bet it will take ages to get it when I finally get there.

    Hi guys - sorry for neglecting you but we had a week away with no internet connection. Your sig is fab Tirl. I think we all find it hard to stick with the programme when we had large debts to start with - as there is the temptation to ease off the throttle - I know we succumbed to that for a few months this year and went backwards as a result. Now hopefully we are back on track. It will be fab when it is all finally gone!

    well done tirl - that must have taken a lot of discipline! I've given up on surveys for the time being!
