11th June 2014!

Hey everyone!
I was thinking... In 6 months time it will be 11th June. Hopefully we will be hopefully enjoying out summer. If you think of that sunny day in June, what do you want to have achieved in 6 months. Many of us have a long journey ahead, that will take a number of years. But it's reassuring to hope that In 6months time we will be well on our way to being debt free and hopefully enjoying being in control of our finances.

So by June 2014 I would like to have
* clear remaining pdls
* payed £400 of cc
* put 100£ into isa
* be regularly saving into an emergency fund

On a personal note.
* lose 2 stone
* improve relationship with dd (she's a teenager now!)
* enjoy life abit more (will be easy I won't be worried about mounting debts!
