    Red i joined here again in March 2006, i made a useless attempt in 2005 which went wrong.
    In my first year i cleared £2551
    second year i cleared £7934 (and started paying for a wedding)
    third year i cleared £10129 (and got married!)
    the year ending this march i've so far cleared £4149 (and paid for new double glazing) still got a couple more months before the anniversary of my joining so i should hopefully get the number up by another 2-3k.
    Red you will achieve it, and get debt free, i never thought i would but i can almost taste it, just a little bit longer to go.

    actually reading your signature more closely i think you will probably make it pretty quickly. You've cleared in one year about twice what i've cleared in my best year to date!
  • Wow LT, that's some impressive numbers. I'm saying just over 2 and a half years for mine, but am gonna bust a gut to try to do it sooner.

    rachel it took me a couple of years to really be able to make headway because i was earning a cr0p wage and was trying to keep this place on my own. If it hadn't been for the loan from the bank of M&D and a pay rise i don't think i would be this far along.

    Morning Woo
    How are things with you this very cold morning. Supposed to go to -25 next week. So the wise ones around here say:p What is it about people and the flippin weather.

    Love the name of the pup, sound a bit like my favourite coffee! Have you seen the advert for Tesco H Ins. gorgeous black labrador pup in a dolls house. V cute.
    Had a lovely time with my friend yesterday. She is a great girl and so very thoughtful and kind. Very blessed to have her. Our kids are the same age and our daughters are real close to each other in the same school too. She has also 2 younger ones so she has her hands full but always finds time for everyone else. Its my birthday next week and she landed with lots of goodies for me, always v thought out pressies.

    I am finding the month really long as I am sure you are too. Will you be going shopping tonight or will you make do with what you have since you will be on your own? Will you spend the weekend at home or go visit your family? Whatever you do enjoy the space and take care in the ice.

    God bless

    Morning E

    I love that advert, the puppy is super cute :)

    Glad you had a lovely day with your friend.

    I will have to do some shopping tonight, to get stuff for the dog. Am hoping I can eat out the cupboards as much as possible though.

    Hi guys

    Well done on the payment Woo - wish I could find £3 lol. xx

    Our heating's the opposite, it's melting everyone. Ridiculous when they're trying to save pennies too! Woukdn't find that happening in my house!

    Speaking of feeding the dog - our pet food's free delivery now from pets at home so saves pennies on petrol going to get it!

    Have a great day

    xx
