    1363/3000 words written

    674 for one section - needs another 326 adding - to make up to 1000

    Total then is 1689 needs another 311 adding today to make up to 2000 and 2/3 written

    Total left to write today is more than 637

    Break time now, time to walk the dog, have an early tea and then crack on with the writing again tonight. If I achieve this it will ease things up tomorrow a little even though the remaining sections are a bit of a mystery to me at this stage. Hope they demystify overnight!

    Area to concentrate are - theoretical models need linking into evidence

    1544 words written out of 3000

    Had to rewrite quite a bit from the rough draft which meant getting rid of some other sections

    So 350 - 400 more on one section takes to 1944 max then increase other sections to include the remaining 1000 words

    Sounds easy and straightforward? If only it was. Well tomorrows aim is to write the remaining 1500 words then leave the checking for Sunday - please let this be so and I can have an earlier finish on sunday before the evening for a change!

    Totalled up debt repayments for March at £600

    Total to aim to pay off in 2011 stands at £1747/£5000

    DFD remains at Apr 2014 and 37mths

    Hard work continues on debt repayment and the importance of budgeting and NSDs kicks in again to try and get this date even closer

    NSD 2/15 for March

    Doh! The penny drops a bit heavier

    Updated snowballer and discovered if I up my repayments by another £70 per month I can pay off the first CC 3 mths earlier than planned. Guess I'd better do that then and make the extra payment to this level (217 per month) and in Nov I can pay it off in less than a year. Now that is more than I imagined I could do in a year and earlier too. The DFW nature is taking hold more, and its worth it too in the long run to make my money my own again instead of the banks, can't wait to get there

    No guessing about it at all - will be doing this and going for it then its onto the next one and well on the repayment path

    1920 words written leaving approx 1000 words left to write
    Theoretical models linked into evidence more or less leaving one more possible to fit into the main background section before I tackle the next sections to fill out some more
    Then need to write an evaluation strategy and costings
    Will keep these pretty basic

    Plan for rest of today is
    Put casserole on for tea
    Take dog for a walk
    Finish off the theoretical models section
    Fill out aims and objectives sections
    Draft rest of sections
    Type up
    Update references

    Sunday
    Deadline day!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wish this cold would go soon I need to get back out running when this assignment is in for my race in 3 weeks time. Oh well at least I'm not up to much apart from working on this over the weekend so a quiet weekend on one hand even though its hard brain work instead!

    Cold and shivers kicked back in big style - boo

    Just writing up the evaluation section while trying to make it read like it makes sense
    Word count stands at 2104 / 3000 leaving 896 to go!

    On another note decided to check my credit report and see what state its in while I'm in debt busting mood. Let's wait and see what it looks like - eek!
