    Hope the house is coming along well Taxi, we have never got rid of Sky - OH is out working all night meaning I am in with the children so seemed fair enough to keep it as our entertainment budget is zero. x x

    To be honest Taxi, I think the worst thing you can do is put so much pressure on yourself that the whole process becomes a nightmare. Give it a few months and you might be ready for another burst of chucking everything you can at it, but for now so long as you're making the payments you need to make, along with a little extra if it can be managed, then pat yourself on the back and enjoy life a little.

    HI taxi, I think you are quite right to readjust your priorities. You are coping well with the debt, it is going down, and having a comfortable home is very important too. Don't feel guilty or that you have to justify yourself to us or anyone.

  • Hope everything works out for you Taxi. It is wise to take a bit of a back seat and get everything sorted around you first..take care of your health as well. x

    Hi taxi! I know I am a stranger these days but I wanted to say hi. I haven't read all this thread, just the first & last page or so.

    My heart goes out to you hon - I know exactly how hard you've worked cos I remember you clearly from way back. It sounds to me like you've done amazingly well, you should be so proud of what you have achieved.

    Go easy on yourself and when the time is right, you'll know when to pick things up again. Enjoy your life with hubby - my heart ached for you, how you would have felt finding out about him watching the boxing outside the hotel. I would have felt the same.

    Anyway just wanted to send my love & support. Big hugs.
