Life begins at the end of 41k debt

I'd love to do a 5k or 10k run like that, but I haven't done any running for... well at least 3 years or so!

It's so difficult to find the time though

At the end of the day I just wanna relax. Perhaps with the longer days and warmer weather I'll start going for a run in the evening.

Well yet again I have spent too much money this weekend

. We wanted to go for a bike ride, and after looking at DS7's bike, we decided he really needed a new one, and a new bike helmet too. So that was £114 spent sat morning :eek:. He is paying us back though, from his post office savings account as I think he should learn the value of money early on. Then we went on a 10 mile bike ride, stopping at a pub for a drink halfway.

Well the spending doesn't stop there.....while waiting for the bike to be built, we went for a pub lunch. Then yesterday we went out for a few drinks after another bike ride, then I had a chinese later on (just me, I was starving as I'd also been to the gym in the morning :eek:).

There will be more spending today....as it's my birthday. DH has the day off, and is coming to take me out to lunch - I still have to work.

I will try harder next week.....honest

I did manage to pay the £500 to bcard, but now we're a bit skint!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes

Haven't posted on here for ages, but am pleased to report as of 1st April we have paid over £10k off :beer: Just over £30k to go :eek:

Had letter from tax credits today. As from now we are no longer entitled to them, due to the budget. So that's a £40 loss a month

. It should be compensated though as my pay will go up £20 a month and DHs £10 because of changes to the tax rate. No real loss then, but last week we got a letter saying that our tax credits would stay the same for another year!!!!

Congratulations on paying over 10k off and in such a short time - I am in amazement!

Well done - you completely deserve it.

Not such good news re tax credits though - I am in the same boat and was supposed to get the baby element this year which they have cut

so can't meet ovepayments I hoped to. Oh well onwards and upwards.
