    Hi Mz Grim, thanks for your post. Are you debt busting as well?

    Hi Lemon Tree, I understand your frustration with having to save to clear the loan and not being able to make extra payments, I am the most impatient person and I would find that so hard. You have such determination x

    Hey Woo yes I am debt busting as well, and also trying to save for a decent house deopsit. Although I am on the other side of the world to you guys in Australia. But there is nothing like this site over here (trust me ive looked) and I find everyones stories so insperational. So I hope all you guys dont mind me crashing the party :)

    Of course not you are very welcome.

    I'm sure this will sound very sad to you but I really want to visit 'Summer Bay' from Home and Away! Maybe I should make that my debt free wannabe goal!

    Just so you know if you do visit "summer bay", you would be visiting Palm Beach in sydney, that is the main location for filming of the outdoor parts. Im in melbourne (this is where neighbours is filmed) and you can actually do bus tours of "ramsey st".

    In that case Sydney can be my debt free motivation, the beach looks so beautiful.

    Summer has finally arrived and I have to spend another delivering leaflets tommorrow. The extra pennies should mean I can get under £14k by the end of May.

    How did u find the website?

    I soo want summer back its starting to get much colder here now well its stayed bellow 15c for a few days and getting below 5c at night. I am loving the website, found lots of interesting info and have signed up to a few local survey sites already made over $10AUD on one of them which is awsome. Some of the information isnt relevant but it is interesting to see how things work in other countries as well. One of the things that suprises me is that most people get paid monthy over there where as here its either weekly or fortnightly, which makes it a little easier to budget for

    Weekly would be so much easier, 5 week months are a real killer and the motivation can really start to wane when you have to wait so long to make your next lot of proper payments.

    Anyway night/or morning for you? Early start again tommorrow for me!
