    Ok I will be leaving work @ 6pm then I will have done 9.75 hrs today bringing my total up to 18.25/45 for the week. I have a day off tomorrow as it is my birthday:j:j. So my aim is that from 5 yrs tomorrow I will be debt free:T. I now just need to plan how much to pay off in the next year before my 46th birthday. :eek:

    Over the next couple of weeks I am going to set myself goals in all areas of my life ,all which need to be acheived before my next birthday. Looking back over the last year I have not acheived much in any area ( other than buying a dog:)) so that needs to change........ I plan to make this my best year yet:T. To be continued....;)

    Hey happy birthday! Like the sound of your goal setting....I'd say a few key ones, not too many, for a greater chance of success, cos sometimes life just gets in the way....

    Have a great day tomorrow
