    Well done wonky teacup (yup, great name!) you seem really focused on tackling the debts and it’s great that you and DH are working together.

    What’s the situation with the mobile phones? If you’re locked in a contract have you tried to negotiate a better deal? Once the contracts are finished, going sim only will save you a lot.

    Great news.... hopefully things will start to look up from now on. :)

    Don't feel guilty about using your Christmas money for you! Getting rid of debt is hard and can take time, you need some pleasure in your life whilst doing it, and the money, after all is said and done, was for you to get your Xmas present with..... so enjoy! X
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
