  • Never mind "getting your drive back" looks to me as if you still have a considerable amount of it!

    54 months is much sooner than the DFD of many here (me included) and time really does fly when you are debt-busting.

    I wish you all the luck in the world with this and hope you are back to full health very soon.

    Aww thanks everyone. Its very much appreciated. My treatment is starting next week. Do you all have diaries, I will enjoy catching up on your adventures and looking at your lives. I have your diary on my subscriptions already pat Lucky and Fortune... I will look in today as I only managed a few yesterday.

    EE howdy lovely...I will get my SOA done. I will work at it. I will need a couple of days to get everything sorted and together. I am at work this morning and I am feeling tired. Doctors tonight as I have a gland up in my neck and its hard and tender. Probably some small infection which I need to address. My run was nice. Accompanied by a keen and reatively sensible German Shepherd who only needed "help" twice (she was afraid of a dead squirrel and a curious cow and needed carrying a few yards). I also spent some time with DD1 and we discussed her wedding next year. (also touched on the subject of her dad who is uselessand has let her down so often and still is); I collected some rent from my tenant and I then paid a plumber who fixed a tap in the rented house. Money neutral! I then fed my tarantulas and had a shower and went to bed fairly early for me, to watch eastenders. By the time DH came up to bed I was fast asleep. I haddnt even had the promised glass of wine. :)
    Trying to shift that debt!
  • Hi SBO, it's great your getting your drive back, but please don't overdo it. There is no amount of debt that is worth compromising your health when you have had such a serious condition. Do what you can, but be kind to yourself when/if you have days when your energy is depleted. Good luck and take care.
