Thanks Spagbol and everyone else who is so lovely about the thread. I don't mind at all managing this challenge, I wish I could devote a lot more time to it but life has just been so hectic the last few months! And yes I do feel incredibly proud of you all. It doesn't matter if you're already debt free or you will be debt free or even if you have not paid anything off but have more importantly not added to your debt. If you've changed your life for the better because of this thread then I couldn't be more proud. I won't be debt free by Xmas like quite a few of you (will hopefully only have £2k to go) but I don't feel that I've failed. I will have paid off £15k in a year and that is not to be sniffed at!

Keep up the hard work everyone! :A

Jemma - hope you had a lovely holiday! And what a mahoosive round up!!

I ran the Bristol half on Sunday. I didn't train enough so was looking to do it just as a training run. Everything went well up to 9miles but then I started to slow down. The last 3 miles were hard and the last mile an absolute killer. I was determined to run all the way and my resolve to do that was properly tested in those final miles. But I did it! I ran every single step of the way and got over the finish line in 2:20:22 which I was very pleased with. Next time, I'll train properly!

14 days till DFD!!!

Good debt busting everyone! Keep at it!

affordmylife

Hi Jemma et al,

I'm still here, still reading, just lurking.

My parents are over here visiting us at the moment so I don't have much time to linger on here.

My daughter and Grandson are doing great, he's still having a four-hourly feeds so she's getting very tired now. Luckily her partner works 4 days on 4 days off so he can really lend a hand when he's around.

Well done to everybody making payments and going that extra push, not long to go now at all :eek:.

Congrats on all to baby news.

Shame the summer is over, hope you've all had a good one, and you're all set for the mad manic season ahead of us.

Here's to the next 84 days!!

psychopathbabble

I had to get the old sheepskin boots out this morning so summer is officially over Been to the doctors today and have had hypothyroidism diagnosed. This hopefully explains my exhaustion and many other things that I've had going on in the last couple of years. I didn't think that they would take me seriously, but it appears so, and on the bright side, I now don't have to pay for prescriptions!

Slowly getting the spendies paid off again, it's sickening to think had I not gone crazy the last couple of months, I'd actually be debt free by now. Hey ho, the scenic road is the best and all that.


well done Tirlittan on running the whole way!
