Hi Dolly
I'll be reading with interest too. I need to clear my cc and then work on lowering the mortgage to either get rid completely or at least have enough equity to be able to move to a 'slightly' bigger house so that baby no 2 might be possible.
A weight loss in there somewhere would be lovely too, the 10st 7lbs sounds very to similar to where I would like to be too. Good luck with it allJanuary 2015 - LBM

Its all seems very easy when its all written down but then life has a good habit of getting in the way of things.

10st 7lbs is the dream I swear its been since school I havent been that weight!

Harry is 14 months old, would love another one when he is maybe 3/4 as then wouldn't need to pay 2 lots of nursery fees!! So really want to get into gear and get some mortgage overpayments made. We do have a 3 bed house at the moment but hubby works from home so one is his office and Harrys room is only small so wouldn't really be practical for 2 small children. However if it happened that way we would make do!January 2015 - LBM

Heeeey. I am happy to chip in to help you keep on track?
Sounds like some of your goals are similar to mine too! I thankfully done the debt thing a couple of years ago and saving has been a bit of a slog. Still plugging away though.
I hope you've eaten your Christmas choc, give you time to lose weight before Easter comes around:eek: I keep getting back on the gym horse and falling off. Have lost a couple of lbs in January so all good.
Do you do Slimming World club every week or how does it work?
Good luck with your list. It seems manageable enough I reckon :-)**Debt Free as of 15:55 on Friday 23rd March 2012**And I am staying that way

I will join you on your weight loss journey Dolly!
Starting on Monday! (Isn't it always start on Monday?? xD)
I'm going to my aunts house after work tonight because she made curry goat and roti, which I can never resist! :rotfl:
Then this weekend I will be at my sisters house and I have dinner with her and then another with a friend...so that's two dinners this weekend and I feel like if I start today...I'll just feel like a failure come Monday...so Monday it is! xD
Yay for Rome! I'm going to Rome as well this May with a few friends for the 25th bank holiday weekend and I want to lose at least 3 stone by then!
I have the 30 day shred DVD and I plan to wear it out, plus lots of fruits, salads, soups...NO MORE CHOCOLATE!! (Or crisps, which are my biggest weakness xD)
WE CAN DO THIS! :T
Your cruise sounds so exciting!Roll on 2016! Have you ever been on one before?

Och he is still a wee baba then. Well you have plenty of time to get some overpayments made & be organised for little human no 2.
Once you are pregnant just start nesting & move the hubbys office somewhere else then blame your hormones :rotfl:
He cannot say a thing about it then as you are making a human being & can get away with anything haha!

Oh thanks for joining in.
Well there is still some christmas choc but I have a skinny husband who can eat it so not so bad.
I go to a class every week otherwise I just fall completely off the wagon
I have lost 2lbs in January so far but I have really only been back on the plan for a week :rotfl:
The list is manageable & I intend to just keep slogging away at it no matter how long it takes me.
Be happy to have you onboard.

Hey Dollyrocker.
I am absolutely in love with the idea of Rome (and New York but it is a debt free dream due to cost).
It looks so beautiful there.
Like everyone else posting, I have the same sort of goals. Pay off debts, save money (for our wedding rather than a house) and lose weight. Again I was sitting at 15st 10lbs (now 15st 7lb) but want to be 10st 7lb.
A cruise sounds amazing. I wish you the best of luck with your debt journey and can't wait to hear how Rome goes.
