    Hope you dont mind my 2ps worth....... ok I know you have a rough time with debts etc, ok maybe extra dept repayments havent been achieveable, but you have done such a lot over the last yr and half, i know theres been days when I could crawl under the duvet and watch the world go by, but by haveing my own thread its a reminder of the bad times, but also a plus point to motivate myself and make me feel pround how far I have come.

    Even if you take a break from debt busting, but keep the thread open and even if u just post hi, were know ur ok,
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Do think about posting now and then - you've taken the time to respond to me and I appreciate that. Hope you start to feel more on track soon.

    Not sure if Id prefer stinky nappies to the demands for cash. £6 for DD2 and £12 for DD2 about to disappear.

    None of us have anything wildly exciting to post if you look at it like that! In terms of debtbusting I have one day a month really when inroads are met and the rest is just day to day mundane life..its not a competition about who has the most exciting life - its jus getting hrough to a new debt free life and sharing the ups and downs...
    I feel quite strongly that if you dont post it will go t*ts up and you'll slip and in my book thats a bad thing...when you feel carp and despondent thats the most important time to post cos its when youre most likely to slip...
    Also, would it be worth giving kids pocket money and just pocket money - they seem to have alot "here and there"....just a thought...

    thanks shaun...just dont want my dfw buddies slipping into oblivion...plus know fro past experience that coming on here is, for me at least, essential to maintaining a dfw way of life...when I dont I rack up more debt!

    agree completely
    i was debt free ages ago
    but im glad i stayed around
    keeps you on the straight and narrow if you wonder off!!
    having had my current problems i know the credit card would have been the solution and back to debt again.....
    plus its nice to have somewhere to rant ,,,let of steam
    cheer yourself up with a chat to someone
    read funny letters
    laugh with other at silly situations eth
    keeps me sane.......................ok maybe not:rolleyes:

    Aw KP I so enjoy reading your posts. I'm a relative amateur at moneysaving compared to you and still feel like I have a long way to go and having people like you around definitely inspire me to keep ploughing away.

    I want to say something really cliched like chin up:eek::o Would that be too cheesy?:D
