    Hope you had a lovely birthday!

    Re the holiday - definitely much more worthwhile than paying off a little bit of debt quicker, think how lovely it will be :) *is a little bit jealous as not had a proper holiday this year!*

    Happy belated Birthday.

    You will remember a holiday more than paying the debts a month or so earlier. Once you come back you can focus and 'go for it' - rather than half-heartidly paying debts and wondering what the holiday would have been like.

    I know what you mean about feeling too big - even though it 'only' sounds a smallish amount to lose. I am just 5ft and over 10 stone - doesn't sound much but I used to be under 7 and a half stone as my natural weight in my younger days (I remember the original 'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to !!) - I want to lose a stone and a half - could be more but that'll do nicely.

    Enjoy the holiday
