    Morning Becs - How lovely thinking about being off.

    We're going abroad in a couple of weeks and I can't wait although I reckon I will need a holiday to get over the holiday!

    Wish I was coming with you! :)

    I'm hoping the weather holds for next week (I know some people have snow now :eek: but we are still warm and sunny here) as I'm going to try to go to the Witterings one day with the dogs for walking and a picnic.

    Also going to get lots done I hope for this craft fair in May.

    I'm still working my pub shifts but it's going to be lovely having so much free time :D

    Just realised its April (I know that should have been obvious!) :o

    Meaning it's 2 years since my LBM. At this time 2 years ago I had just come back from 6 months in Africa so hadn't been paid for all that time and wasn't getting paid till the end of the month, had just totted up my shocking debt total, had charges left right and centre, and was generally going :eek:

    This time 1 year ago I was just coming to the end of 2 months in Borneo, had been paid for those 2 months this time and my debt was £21,428 but DF still felt a long way off.

    And now my debt stands at £6,574 and DF is sooo close now! In the last year I have paid off £14,854, that's double what I paid in the first year, wow :D

    Sorry, reminiscing over! Just quite amazing what a difference 2 years can make :)

    Inspirational post there hun!!!! I love to think how far I have come and how my mindset has changed so much. We need to do this so you crack on doing so :)

    And now we have our diaries to remind us of everything from when we first started to being debt free.

    That's true DF - when I'm finally debt free I think I'll read my diaries through from beginning to end :)
