    Seems much longer than 1 week since LBM.

    It's very clear that a very long haul is required which shall probably have many ups & downs along the way.

    Money is tight but cash flow ok in as much as income is higher than outgoings.

    Read thro many great diaries on here. Thanks to those who have looked at mine & those of you who have posted nice comments.

    Some credit card payments due this week so debt shall reduce a little.

    I had intended to get the calculator out tonite & do the up-to-date debt sums but I'm so tired now it'll need to wait til tomorrow.

    Had long day at work but managed to pop out at lunch time for a 30 min. run. Really trying to increase physical activity & as running is "free" that's the best option financially, but it's certainly not easy.

    Debt down a little due to a some CC payments.

    Main focus this month: stick to budget, keep alcohol consumption down, try to run 50k+ in total & look at possible money making ideas.

    Why is running so damned hard :cry::cry::question:

    Hi Runaway just thought I'd post cos you've got a similar amount of debt when we first started. Keep plodding and focus on bitesize amounts rather than the whole amount.

    Good luck

    I just find running so hard but it's the only thing that keeps my weight in control. Sometimes get sore knees, back & Achilles heel, but I've found a pace, time & distance that allows me to be able to run 3 or 4 times per week. I also try to run in the country therefore softer ground.

    Not good news ..... I must've made an error with original debt calculations & the LBM debt is actually circa £1k higher than originally posted.

    Can't do anything about that so just need to try to chip away at it
