    Well done Chev, you've probably been the most productive of any of us.

    Funny you should mention the paper round as this is my last week. Perhaps I should ask if there are any others they want doing. But it's only £15/week (for 6 days) so not a huge contribution towards the camp costs.

    New month, and I'm over £1500 less in debt than on 1 March. So that's good - but things are still very far from secure here.

    I will do my tax return this month, so will know the size of my January 2010 tax bill and be able to make decisions about whether continuing to freelance is viable etc etc.

    OH got offered a free place on a course on teaching in adult education. It leads to a certificate, so that should open some doors.

    Hi Seaxwyn

    Just got back after a long weekend at my mum's - hey, £1500 off the debt is great, how come you managed so much? Well done!

    Welcome back Karmacat! Well I *should* have a big drop every month as regular payments alone should reduce it by £900 or so. I wish it did go down by that much every month.

    Wow .... very cool. I must update my oustanding total, actually - I think my French mortgage debt is going down quicker than I'm allowing for .... thanks Seaxwyn.

    Just found you. Have to admit to not reading all of the thread. As I know you from my thread and hypno's. Both my twins are "in love" with old school boyfriends, and dreaming of the future,!! Gulp. Both boys seem to also have learning issues!
    Just wanted to post, as PROCRASTINATION is definitely part of my depression, and something that I have slipped into over the years.
    I am trying to be more proactive (as long as I am able to move), so perhaps we and double trouble are all in the same boat! Wonder if its having twins that does it? We had to readjust our lives to fit around bringing up twins!! (Well thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!)
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
