    Yep it sounds fun, she is in Dubai at the moment for 3 days, then Bangkok and then doing seems like all of South Asia, ending up in Oz eventually. Will worry till she gets there. Been a real week of emotions as her bf had to say bye to some very sick elderly relatives, who may not be about on their return.

    I need a holiday but never fancied Australia.

    I would like to do either Canada/ Nashville and Memphis but seeing as I can't afford to renew my passport at the moment not looking likely but would love to go anywhere this year, even weekend break be good.

    My daughter is 25 and I had my first child at that age. Just feel that life is moving on and I need to live it to the max:D

    abba - gas monkey garage? No idea what that is omg I am getting old.

    Well can't concentrate in work so thought I would scribble in here, full of a head cold.

    Paid 51.00 off today

    :j:jTotal debt now stands at 3900.00:j:j

    2 credit cards left to blitz. cc2 to try and clear by 1st May stands at 1219.00 today. Interest free period runs out then.

    Spent on house yesterday 55.00 new double glazed unit as the other window had misted up. Washing line with all the fittings came to 13.00 shocked by that.

    Good news finally got my heating back on after few cold days. Hoping my 25yr plus boiler carries on going for at least another yr. Luckily got British Gas cover.

    Right tidy up desk and clear out of this office.

    Have a lovely weekend folks.

    Thanks abba here's hoping. Not a car nut as long as my Focus goes I am happy bunny.

    Today paid another 20.00 off cc2 1199.00 to clear by 1st May. :eek:besides my cc3 minimum payments. Enforced diet on the way. If I managed to pay all that my balance would be under 2.5k on 1.5.16
    So going for it.

    Total debt now stands at 3880.00:beer:

    No shopping today will make do. Was going to have a day off tomorrow but to be honest its too cold I would probably end up at home and have to put the heating on:mad: so staying in work where it is warm and saving my holidays for warm sunshine.:)

    Well nearly a month since I have posted on here and my debt is not going down fast enough for my liking - can't think how I can up my game at moment.
    Debt currently stands at 3665.00 (72% of total debt 13032 paid)
    Have paid 23% off the start of this yrs debt.(Paid 1115.00)

    Just trying to get more positive at this moment with these stats, as full of cold/ earache which just not clearing up and feeling sorry for myself. Temptation to book a sunny holiday is great but I have worked too hard to give up now.

    No plans for the weekend I did have some for today but gutted not up to them. Pity as bf has made me my favourite pud - Sherry Trifle(love 80's food ) but so off my food can't even think about it.

    Hopefully I can pay 100 pounds off next week providing no major disasters. Have a lovely weekend. x
