Insurance is only going to cover the bikes and they probably won't do cash settlement.

But bit of good news as well. Got some of our clothes back, including expensive waterproof trousers as someone had reported a bag of clothes to the police. Still missing my jeans and favourite techinical t-shirt...

Debt wise, I'm over 90% paid off!!!! Woo hoo! Pay day today so paid another £275.

Wow - you are an inspiration

Had a week off last week. We didn't go anywhere as some plans fell through. Thought about going to visit BFs sister in Amsterdam but when he called her, she was in Barcelona looking for a place to rent!

So just did day trips. Went mountain biking, climbing, walking and did a motorbike trip in Cotswolds. On Sunday, went mountain biking again. 3 miles from the end, I fell off, somersaulting (sp?) over the handle bars and landing hard on my backside. Oh it hurt! I've come off quite a few times, the last time just week before, but usually I can feel that things are going wrong and I'm ready/jump off the bike when I start falling so never suffered more than bruises and scrapes before. Well, no bruises this time, but the muscle must of bruised internally and just 'crunched' up. I was not able to go to work Monday as I couldn't walk properly and there was no way I was going to ride the motorbike. When I fell, we still had 3 miles to go as well. It's getting better but it's still not right and I haven't been able to do anything more than walking this week, runnings definitely out of the question.

Was lovely to have some time off though.

On debt news, I've paid 94% of my total debt now. Paid some extra off today (had some survey money I was saving for something else) as it's just getting so exciting to be so close to DFD!!!

Sorry to hear about your accident it sounds painful!

Great that you are so close to debt freedom tho!

Thanks Saving.

Planning to go for a bike ride today, hopefully it'll be fine. Going to Chew Valley Lake.

Bike ride never happened as it took longer for BF to fix the bikes than he thought.

Have been to a new volleyball club and signed up to play for them next season. People seemed nice and I know couple of people from there anyway. Still a big change and will probably play against my old club.
