    I haven't set my 2017 goals yet but building an EF also needs to be a priority here. Like you, a lot of our potential overpayments goes on debt repayment. I do consider how far we have come though and he debt is from home improvements on 0% cc which prevented us from moving.

    Hdk on here lost 5 stone (I think in a year), go for it dfod!

  • Thank you CathT.

    Ran the gauntlet at Mr T at silly o clock this morning and £126 :eek::eek: later, we are done for Christmas.

    I really am looking forward to stopping eating rubbish and so much of it in a few days, but I am going to enjoy myself in the meantime.. I am more than ready to start though!

    Weather has been really mizzy today, managed a quick trip to the beach and then delivered a few Christmas cards. Watching a film now with DS and planning to box dye my hair after dinner in the hope it goes a few shades lighter!!

  • Second attempt at hair dye didn't produce the results, so will do one more next week and see if a lighter shade works better.

  • Lovely few days, too much food eaten but lots of lovely memories.

    Defrosted the freezer today so it's empty - but a good job done! Been very good in the sales as well apart from getting DD some new bedding for her new bed when we buy it, and two bath mats! I know how to live!

    Our visitors go home tomorrow, as much as its lovely to have them, be nice to get the house back in some sort of order. Did a it in DD's bedroom tonight, but lots more sorting and toy putting away to do. They have both been very lucky.

    So diet starts tomorrow and I'm ready! Planning to start de-christmasfying the house as well.. I love th decs up, but love them down as well - Feel I can breathe again!
