A Budgeteers Continued Quest to be Debt Free & Mortgage Free By 40

DedicatedDFW · 18 December 2013 at 10:44PM

Hi all, thank you for posting and I will get back to messages this week as I'm on my phone so am much slower with typing

I've very much been taking it easy this week just going to work and that's it so I'm a bit behind on my studying but hope to get back to it this weekend. Hoping to start a new thread too to help me focus. No spare money to pay to the mortgage this month but it was always going to be tight. I'm just glad to have a credit balance even if it is only pennies

Chocs yes that is my weight - I am really quite short though so any extra weight really shows on me. I do want to eat more healthily but that had no impact on my stomach problems but I want to both get fit, eat better and lose weight for all round health benefits - its just so dear to eat healthily though!
Brizzle I really want to go for a run but I have hurt my foot somehow so need to rest that first x
Chocs I forgot to say I'll get the bank holidays off so I'm very much looking forward to the break but sadly I don't feel very festive and I normally really love xmas!

Hope everyone is well I'm hoping to be back to myself soon but just feel out of sorts at the mo. X

A credit balance is good

I hope a few restful weeks might leave you feeling rejuvenated. It's awful feeling run down and you have had a lot to contend with this year.

I know what you mean about weight, fitness healthy eating etc. I have managed to get fit this year but haven't cracked the healthy eating. I'm trying to keep my weight more or less static (sorry, didn't mean to be tactless about your weight. As you say, it depends on height and build.) I will have another go at improving my diet next year.

I may not post here for a couple of weeks as I won't have my computer with me when I go away so have a nice Xmas and leave us a link if you disappear onto another board!

Best wishes x

Hi all, not tactless at all chocs it is all about being happy in yourself and I am just not at the moment. Hoping to set up new thread in next few days lots of things to get down on paper.

Had a dreadful day in work from start to finish. Had been toying with the idea of getting something new to wear and did some retail therapy on lunch break - the afternoon was as bad though. All items can be returned for a refund though.

New year will see targets for home maintenance / improvements, mortgage overpayments, savings, healthy lifestyle and a new job!

Have a lovely Xmas and new year chocs xx

Hello All,

Be lovely if you all still pop in and Chocs - you should start a thread too i think

Have been tired, tired, tired all week - same today but feel a bit energised by starting new thread and having a new focus

Lots to achieve this weekend will hopefully have a weekend of achieving stuff and popping in here
