    Hi Beccie,

    I haven't been on here for a long time, but I wanted to check in on you as I used to follow this board religiously. And OMG -- you are flying!!! A massive well done to you! You must be so proud! How exactly are you doing all of this?

    I have updated my signature to reflect where I am up to and I am planning on trying my very best to get debt free by 30 (I have 3 years and 2 months to accomplish this by).

    Well done again Beccie -- you're an inspiration!

    Hi Claire, nice to have you back! :D

    Same old really, lots of work and just keep slogging. Can't slip on my deadline now - I am going to Africa for a month in Nov and I am determined I am flying away debt free! :)

    How have things been with you?

    Will you be starting a new diary? :)

    Considering taking up crochet classes - it's something me and my friends have been wanting to learn for a long time (I know, we sound old!) but just trying to work out if I can justify £10 a week? It's a 2 hour lesson and there would only be four of us in the class so it does sound good value.

    Well done on the payment and it was good to hear your friend finally paid up, wish mine had Grrrr

    Its good to have a hobby and with all the extra work you do I think its a small treat you deserve and to do with friends, if you said we are off to drink ourselves silly once a week well thats different.
    I say go for it :D

    Thanks HWG :) Shame about your friend though :mad:

    Think I will go for it, like you said it's a small thing and actually it will help me with some of the stuff I want to do for my Etsy shop so that's money making right?! :o

    And after my hangover after my birthday last week there will be no drinking myself silly for a while! :D

    Really struggling to hit the same payment target that I usually do but can't seem to figure out why....

    Hi hun

    Just got back so checking in on you. You're still doing fab even if you say you can't meet your usual target - don't be disheartened!!! You're still making payments so all in the right direction - it will iron itself out.

    Keep it up - watching you closely as always
