    Another vote here for you keeping up with your writing.


    And another congratulations on sorting out your debts!:T


    I think writing a diary about your progress towards your next set of goals would be great and help to keep you on track.:)


    It could be a money saving/making diary. Now that's a novel idea!:rotfl:

    I haven't posted here for ages, but have kept popping in and cheering you on via the ether. You have done so well, in spite on your self-doubt I have always thought that you are a good guy.

    Well done, please do not stop posting, lots and lots of people stick around here when they are debt free as a means of keeping them focused and to continue interact with all the friends and supporters that they have met along the way:)

    Don't you dare stop posting. We wouldn't be able to support you through the scary idea of saving, and pen selling to pay off mortgage/house work, if you did!!!!!!
    Good luck with this new journey

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Congratulations, Alex! You have done so well since you started this diary even if it doesn't feel like it.

    Please do keep writing, you have a wonderful way with words and I enjoy watching you grow as a person (and that is really happening!).
