    Thanks guys - been really lazy since not done any exercise! whoops - will make up for it either later today or starting tomorrow. Need to lose 2lbs this week as I maintained at fat club. Trying to be really good this week but its so much harder when my OH isn't at work (its no excuse really).

    Money wise I've paid another £35 off the credit card and reduced my over draft by another £20.

    A little bit annoyed the day after we'd ordered the babies bits from mothercare argos sent me an email saying they had more stock in - blooming typical:mad: but with quidco cashback its pretty much the same

    Going out for lunch with some friends on Thursday so while I'm in town I'm going to take the money out of our penny jar into the bank and whatever is there pay off the credit card.

    Going to go catch up on everyone elses diaries now:D

    Thats some good debt busting there! I am sure you will do fine with the weight loss this week (I have just made a batch of 16 cakes, I will eat them for you :D)

    That credit card must be coming down nicely :)

  • Its under £200 now so it feels like a much smaller debt:D

    I've just made some chocolate chip muffins already had one:(

    I'm always bad at the weekend need to be really good, starting tomorrow:rotfl:

    I am on facebook - another addictive site!

    The muffins were nice but I've still only had one I thought my OH was taking some to work today but he hasn't - my sister is visiting later so I'll have another one with her then:D

    jtr the amounts have come down loads its just ashame I have less money coming in at the moment but once I'm back at work full time if there is any left they should be gone pretty quickly

    Its a miserable day here can't hang the washing out, so I've put the dryer on:mad: hope the rest of the week is nicer

    Facebook is really addictive isn't it? Your debt totals are looking really good. :)

    It's pouring here too so I'll need to pop the heating on when I get in to try and dry it out. Isn't it summer?!

  • far too addictive!! Don't know how I'm going to fit work in when I go back after my maternity leave:D

    I'm trying not to eat the muffins its not easy!

    Once my debts are gone I can start helping my OH with his two loans - they'll be finished on there own next year anyway but they can be paid off early without penalty so thats the next step then we can start saving. Sounds so easy!
