    Spagbol and there's another lady whose name completely escapes me who is expecting in September(?) I believe. Just looked back it was XJojo :)

    I have spent the best part of my day on rightmove, we are moving house due to the OH's job and our lease in Cardiff running out. So I'm currently torn between living in lovely Bath and OH commuting for 2hrs each day, or moving to Bristol (where I have no idea where the dodgy bits are) and him commuting for 1hr on his bike and not using the train at all. Hmm MSE in me says save the pennies on the train fare (£140ish), but then do I want him under my feet alll evening :p haha

    Congrats on the little bundle helenpie! And how amazing you are so close to debt freedom!

    kerri are you looking to rent or buy? A new place is really exciting - and I'd go for Bristol. Last year' quite a few of our staff left to move to Bristol, they say it's a great place, and it will also be cheaper than Bath!

    Hi there,

    i'd like to join this challenge :).

    My debt currently stands at £1365 which is a combination of an overdraft and credit card.

    Urggh, i need to really focus on clearing these debts. I came so close to doing so a few months back but lost focus and built-up the debt again :angry:. Anyway, aiming for Xmas is a great motivation :beer:. Thanks for the thread and good luck everyone!

    Say Wha'????? Congratulations? Should that have read "Helen Pie" as I'm neither expecting nor a payday away from Debt Freedom :rotfl:
