22 Months to DF-Day - The Race is On!

Went to the park to throw frisbee and then went home to get a beach volleyball and taught my bf a bit. He's already been to the beach this year and was much better than last year, but he wants to learn bit more technique. Had a lovely evening.

Thanks SH for reminding that there's only 9days of work before long Easter hols...I think I can cope with my work now with that knowledge!

Getting a tad tired now. Did a 5mi cycle from work yesterday, then had some food, then run 2mi to local match. Match was easy, hardly broke into sweat but decided to have a lift back.

Usual cycle to work today, think I won't do the long cycle back and just go for a run, hopefully around 4.5mi. Then going for dinner at my friend's. Bf is away in Bristol again.

Wow you are cutting through your debt quickly. Good luck with the keeping fit, you seem to be very active.

Hi Flee.
And thanks. Doesn't feel quickly to me tbh, but it is slowly going. With all things in my life atm I won't be able to pay it off before next summer time'ish though.

Trying to get back to fitness atm as had a cold just before Xmas and in February missing 5 weeks of exercise alltogether. Like keeping fit so I can do lot of fun stuff with my bf.

Lol - I bet you are tired. I am and I was just reaading what you did!

How is the saving for a flat deposit/moving going?

Slow and steady wins the race though!

Ok, so the only reason I'm below 5k atm is that I had to pay santander zero card off because the 0% ends on 16th this month. Bf was supposed to transfer the money but we forgot to do it yesterday and today he's away. So had to pay it off from my bank a/c as santander don't take debit card payments over phone and they still haven't sent me my online details. Though I needed to use my o/d before I realised I have money saved towards the move. So transferred that from my savings a/c to current a/c. And now we've decided to save the interest and bf will lend me the money later if I need it for the move. So, in effect, that's one CC paid off, for now anyways!

Brilliant stuff. Wish that was my debt figure!

Flat deposit was pretty much sorted, but moving is not going anywhere before a job comes up. And I do still need to do a lot more on that front though some applications have been sent. NO luck though.

Thanks CMD.
It's been a long old slog to get it down to this. Not celebrating yet. Will probably take me to next summer before I'm DF.
