    Hi GAP! Yeas I'm fine thanks - moved my DFD up to September and just plodding along nicely. Stopped posting to the PAD thread although I still make daily payments. Took a little break because I felt myself getting a bit obsessed with MSE :)

    How are things with you? x

    Oh September! Not long to go.

    I understand about the getting obsessed with MSE thing. I stopped coming on every day and calmed right down. It was like an addiction.

    Things are ok here. I have to go back into hospital for another two ops. Going in a week tomorrow for the first one and probably around August or September for the second one.

    Having a new bathroom suite put in right now. That is coming off the money from my grandad's estate. I am getting a shower!! So excited. Not owned one for eight years! A minimum of one bath a day for eight years is a lot of water! That is not counting Little Miss's baths!

    Oops! Sorry, have just hijacked your diary. I won't be on much for the next few weeks but I will be keeping an eye out for you reaching the ultimate goal. You will be getting debt free around the same time as I am getting put back together :D

    Hugs x

    Well here's my last entry. I lost interest in this diary when things just clicked for me and paying off debt became second nature. I don't think about it too much any more, although I still make almost daily payments.

    I'm at 90% paid off today, and will be debt free on the 25th September, nearly 2 years to the day of my LBM. I almost can't believe it, but it is definitely happening.

    Good luck to anyone on a similar journey!
