    Thanks for asking Buffy. Whilst I haven't abandoned the forum (crazycatlady and alex are keeping me gripped), I have pretty much called time on any postings of mine. I've come to the conclusion I can't multi-task whatsoever - I was juggling my family responsibilities, my new job, extreme weight loss and massive money saving and I wasn't really making much of an impression in any of those fields. For now, trying my best to be a good Dad and Husband, and keeping my head together at work are the two priorities and it seems to be working well.

    Thanks for the update. Good luck with the many strands, even if some can't be worked on just now.

    Hi MrBloater
    I've followed all your threads but I haven't posted in any since the first one (I think). Sounds to me like the priorities you have chosen are the ones that really matter .... but ....

    *Warning, tough love coming up*
    While I understand completely feeling a bit overwhelmed by trying to do too much at once, I really worry that you run the risk of sleepwalking into the debt situation you were in before.
    Please, please, please at least make sure you have a budget that you are sticking to so you are not adding to your debt - even if you put off debt-busting for a little while.

    Good luck :).
