Some super sorting going on there Dragon
It's annoying when the council won't help your good intentions, it annoys me that they frown on fly-tipping and encourage recycling, but won't take anything that isn't in a black bag or that fits in the bin. Some people are threatened with fines here even if the lid of the wheelie bin won't close! :eek:Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!

Okay I have a couple of goals I want to hit as soon as possible, the first is to clear my CC below £2,000, at the moment it is £2,445 and the minimum requested payment is about £50, I am trying to throw an extra £50 per month at it now and hope to clear this quickly. Secondly I want to lose 11 pounds to get me to 19 stone and something! I would like to lose 4 pounds by the end of December and then another 7 pounds in January.
How soon do people think I can get below £2,000?Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

El I think £100 is the most I can ever throw at this, obviously the more I pay off the more of this is going to be going off the capital - if I DO get any extra money I am throwing that at it as well (even a pound or so!).
Weight - Okay join me in losing 11 lb by the end of January?Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
