I'm coming back!!!

Please on not shout at me. I'm coming back with my tail between my legs.
I thought i could go it alone but alas i'm still in need of help.

Since my last LBM in 2008 i have manged to shift 17,000 from our debt through some nifty finance shifting, hard work and down right cheek.

To me that is an acheivement in its self as since i last posted my brood has expanded by one extra mouth.

I've been lurking on the green fingers and old style board for a few weeks now but think its time to fess up and beg for forgiveness :)

My pledge to myself and family is

to stick to budget
to clear debt asap
to enjoy free family life
to teach my kids to learn by our money mistakes
Only the Mortgage to go!!!

    A cracking idea, one that I'll be following through with my own future kids :) After all, may as well get something out of all the hard work required to pay off the debts (well, bar the peace of mind).
