    Two things listed on eBay last night - I'm pleased with that cause I hate eBay and really didn't want to do any at all. Think I will just aim for 1 thing a day. It will all add up in the end :D

    £15 to my brother today :)

    Not much going on this weekend - working an 8 hour shift tomorrow and doing some more gardening on Sunday. Payday is Wednesday and me and OH are both skint so make sense to try to earn some pennies this weekend instead of going out.

    I found breaking it down into 1% chunks made it easier for me HWG, if that helps :)

    Don't lose momentum now - you've come so far!

    Pay day tomorrow :j

    Lots of shifts this week and my eBay items have watchers so I'm hoping to get the August £10 a day challenge off to a good start :)

    Been off sick but back with £210 payment to my brother :)

    OH and I have had a chat and we are re-doing how we pay for stuff so debt payments may slow a little more now.

    Just thought I would come and show my face!

    Sorry to hear about Africa becs, I don't really know what else to suggest. I will just keep my fingers crossed that there isn't too much trouble when it all goes public.

    I still gawp at your paid back figure, I can't believe how much you have paid back over such a short space of time, it's really amazing :beer:

    I won't fill your thread with my news but yep, am engaged and getting married in April after lots of messing around! Had a fab trip to Kenya in March and the Maldives in June. Going back for honeymoon so got another count down on the go :rotfl:

    Woo is good too, I am still in contact with her and her life has definitely changed for the better since she last posted :)

    I don't have a diary really now as I felt like a bit of Judas with my frivolous ways :o, I generally hang out on the wedding board now!

    Lots of love xx

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Hi Jody :D Good to see you again.

    Please feel free to fill my thread with your news anytime - I love good news such as weddings and holidays :j

    So glad that finally worked out for you :)

    And you worked hard to get out of debt and save for these things so don't feel bad posting on here.

    Glad to hear Woo is getting on well - will she come back at all?
