Thanks for the list Tallgirl - its great to see so many people doing so well!!!
Ive not been posting much (bit worried about someone knowing my user name, so thinking of changing it!) but i have been reading, and obviously continuing with my own quest - and in these challenging times it really is wonderful to know that im doing the right thing - as others have said so many people are struggling, and because of the overpayments, im not in that position myself, which i could have been if i hadnt started with the overpayments!!!
So a HUGE WELL DONE to everyone!!!!0 -
Tallgirl - thankyou for the chart....it's really inspiring. I can't believe i've got 50% of the way there. So much further than if i'd not started the challenge.
Well done to everyone xx0 -
Thanks as always TG, great job
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
