Shifting a 24K debt in a year?????

Kepp

Thanks Woo, it definitely does look much less scary broken down!

Sat staring at the grey outside my office window and remembering what I was doing this time last year... I had just kicked off my travelling with a week's horse trekking in Mimizan, the weather was beautiful and I was galloping down beaches and riding through pine forests...*sigh*

I WILL do something like that again once I am DF

Woowoo

Did you know how to ride before you went out there? I saw your pic's on FB, it looked amazing.

Kepp

I did already know, I've been riding bout 18 years now and worked in a stables before as well.

I got quite back into teaching riding out in Zim, and wanted to do some volunteer teaching with the Riding for the Disabled when I got back, but decided it really wasn't feasible till I can afford to work less pub shifts

It was really nice being told I was a good teacher out there, apart from when OH visited and I had to teach him as well - was just a wee argument then!

You may have seen the pics on FB of us swimming the horses in Zim - well I'm on the horse, OH is just swimming, in the end my attempts and getting him and horses to get along failed!

Really must put up my pictures from the trip - I've put up none of my own, just been tagged in other people's!

Woowoo

Couples teaching each other how to do stuff is rarely successful. My OH's attempts to teach me skiing when we first went involved taking me to the top of the mountain and then screaming at me to snow plough down, followed by get them f*cking ski's back on, when I had enough of falling over and cried!

I then went to ski school, way more fun - unfortunately I had a female teacher and not some hot French Instructor!!!!

Kepp

Ha ha, sounds sooo familiar, just replace skis with horse!

My OH tries to teach me how to drive :mad:, ahem, I've been driving 9 years now, he has been driving 3! He seems to think because he has probably covered more miles that it makes him the better driver! Obviously I disagree, especially given the state of his work van :rotfl:.

You all seem so well travelled! I've only been to a few places , ah well, I can change that very soon :j

Woowoo

Most of my debt is from travel Jody, so it wasn't such a great idea lol!

You have plenty of time to see the world when your free x

Kepp

Same here for most of my debt!

I wouldn't change anything I've done like that because it was such a great experience but I also think it would be even more fun doing it when you know it's all paid for. (Let's pretend I've not booked Borneo! Shhh!)

Keep saving the way you are Jody and you'll be DF so soon and knowing you probably already saved enough to travel too!

Kepp

Pay day today! :j

£50 sent to MBNA as that's what I had left out of last months money. Just waiting over the next couple of days for my DDs to go out and then will make a plan of attack with the remaining money

Thanks girls! Up until I left school I had only been abroad once , we just didn't have the money when I was a kid. I haven't done too bad in the last 3 years...been to Madrid, Barcelona (free trips with work), Tunisia, Cuba, Devon and Egypt. I really fancy Hawaii too after seeing Adams pics :rotfl:.

Definately going to have a few years of trips once it's all paid off!
