    Hey everybody!

    Not been on here for a while but I have still been debt busting.

    Just looked back when I first started this Diary when I had over £35,000 in debt and was struggling in a way, I never want to again.

    I feel that I am on the home straight now with just over £12,000 to pay off.

    That is over £20,000 I have paid back and I can see me new life in the distance, ready for me when I am debt free.

    Well its back to the Fishing boat for me but hope to post every week again.

    Thanks all
