    Right everyone, I've been mopey moperson for the last few days and have been really down about everything for some reason :(.

    I've decided that I'm going to take a couple of days off from everything, and then will get back to it with a vengeance.

    That doesn't mean I'm not going to do *anything*, but I will only do it if I feel like it, and if it's not a chore. Just going to have a few days to myself.

    I'll still be around, but just going to relax and get my debtbusting mojo back :D

    Stopping and re-charging the batteries sounds good for the soul jwil. You take care of yourself - have a cuppa :coffee: - have a giggle :rotfl: and take the time to enjoy the important things in life x

    Well done on clearing Target 1 :T:T:T:T I guess it's always going to be a bit of an anticlimax, but I'm sure you'll feel better soon.

    You can pop me down for £1k, who knows if I'll get anywhere near that :/ I don't have a minimum payment for mine, but I did pay something yesterday, so I'll count that.

    Have a good afternoon!

    Ta jwil - £1000 it is :D

    I'll give it a go! :j

    I already direct my debt-busting at one target - currently the Cap1 Credit card in my sig. As there is 896 left on that, I'll put that down as my target for March but I can tell you that barring miracles, there is not much chance of me achieving it. Still, any extra repayments will help and I LOVE the idea of breaking it down into little chunks.

    I'm going to have a think about different money-raising chunks but meanwhile, count me in, DDFW. :D

    Yeah peaceandfreedom - its good to have you with us :T

    Haven't been on for a couple of days due to car problems...grrrrr...ah well it will get sorted. Glad to hear that you are taking a break. You need that as its impossible to keep thinking money constantly. Makes you ill if you are not careful. Enjoy the break.:)

    ebayqueen :mad: to car trouble! Nice to see you again :)

    I've just received a £5 amazon voucher. That was good timing as I'd just spent £5 voucher on a cable due to the fact I can't find mine :mad:

    Got home to discover DH had got the fencing guy around for a quote. *sigh* It needs doing urgently but it's still money.

    Unexpected contributions are always good! I'm shattered too so will be disappearing soon. Hmm, another not 7pm log off, I haven't done very well this week, oops! :o
