    Thanks Emz :A

    I won't let it ruin it - in fact, I'll have to have twice as much fun, get my money's worth :D

    Will try and pop on while I'm away and catch up with everyone if I can. If anyone wants me on FB to have a nosey at photos and stuff then just send me a PM :)

    So, I am finally back and most definitely not debt free :o

    It's finally below 2K though, so my aim now is to get it completely cleared by 11th of April, my birthday.

    I said I wouldn't spend another Xmas and New Year in debt back in 2011 and that didn't happen so I need to make sure the 'I won't spend another birthday in debt' does happen!

    First I will be focusing on getting the extra £700 flight money I borrowed from my Mum cleared, then onto the rest. Still haven't heard back regards refunds on the flights, so fingers still crossed for that one.

    Wow, Africa seems like a long time ago now.............

    I haven't been on MSE for a long while, and seems like it's your first day back too!

    Hope you had an amazing time - can't wait to hear some of the details. And best of luck with reaching your debt free goal - it's very close now!

    Hi Beccie - welcome back :D

    Your birthday is the same day as my mum's :). I'm sure that you can get debt free by then. You're really close now :j.

    Looking forward to hearing more about your holiday. I hope you had a lovely time.

    Emz xx

    I had a very 'interesting' time shall we say! Some very good parts but some very bad parts too. I ended up leaving where I was supposed to be staying for the month after 2 weeks.

    Can't really put the details on here (not as exciting as it sounds!), but if anyone would like to know, PM me your email address and I'll be more than happy to share :)

    I've emailed you both, Happy and Emz :)

    Not sure on plans yet Happy - really need to get my head back in debt-busting mode and it's not going well!

    I really need to hit ebay - I need a good declutter as well as the money. Not sure though if January will be a good time to sell though as I wonder if most people will be short of money?

  • You are probably right regarding selling in january but you can try ? I am relying on ohs bonus to clear a chunk of my target for 2013 and then il aim to have the rest of my target tucked away nicely for april/ may so then the rest is over what my target is xx Thanks for the email i can see why you want to keep it private. I would have done the same xx
