    Agree with that. Going down to one wage has helped us so much with finances. It has been a good learning curve :)

    Morning ladies!
    Back from the bonny land. Had a lovely relaxing time.Only did one 'proper' walk up Ben Wyvis on a very nice and clear day, but on the top there was no breeze and millions of flies so didn't stay too long. Tuesday we drove to Edinburgh and spent the day there, was nice. And the whole break cost me £80 with one night in B&B! Quite chuffed with that. Obviously no other debt busting done.

    PAID - brave decision to quit, but being unhappy at work is not good.

    Hope everyone else is well as well. :)
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!
