    Debt-free and Proud!
    Sun shining here too today, at last. Glad you are getting through your list.
    Last debt payment is next May (2014) so on the countdown now.

    Work is not good as classes being cancelled due to low numbers, so if no classes I don't get paid. Laptop died and too much to fix so have added to debt by getting new one from catalogue. Can't work or Ebay without one lol

    Fancy selling slabs that are still in the ground! Cheeky.

    Have a good day, keep up the good work with SW xxx
    8 years of being on a DMP finished 3/3/14

    sorry trying hard i thought it was this may and got excited too early lol .3lb lost this week will keep going to slimming world ,should reach my target in a year hopefully cost £260 but as i say if i get there i will be happy .
    hope your work picks up soon must be a nightmare ,there is a carboot starting this weekend round the corner from me but weather is not suppose to be good .think i might go for a rake for some treasure or actually do a boot and make some money will wait and see what the wether does .
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
