For some it's a holiday, for me it still means work. It's just a rubbishy week that I'd rather didn't exist so I can just crack on with 2008!
It's pants! :undecided

It was horrendous! But it was so nice to be in the new house for Christmas even though it was a little stressful. I was out partying quite a lot when I should have been unpacking but hey, how can you turn down free alcohol?Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24

Well the snowball calculator says December 2008. An extra £500 a month would mean August and thats probably achievable! But I'm just so desperate to make it even earlier!
I really wanna get my own place ASAP but I know I'm gonna end up disappointed and dejected!0
