    Well done on the quitting Taxi - how are you finding it? I am struggling this week for some reason, not given in to it but its all I can think about - it seems to be getting harder not easier!

    Hope you and family are well x x

    Keep plodding me lovely! It does get better with smoking...never thought I woud say I cant stand the smell but I really cant...As for the debtbusting I continue to think that we do well in winter and rubbish in, what is meant to be, summer! Certainly true for me. Youre normaly really good at it so no surprise that youre fed up wth it all! Just potter along for a bit and when you regain your debtbusting oomph am sure you'll go at it great guns! Must get back on track this month having said that as I've had a rubbish couple of months!

    Taxi, you have my sympathy as that's exactly where I've been for the past few weeks - feeling as though I've been taking two steps forward and 1 and a half back again! It's so disheartening when you see the money going everywhere BUt where you want it to go, isn't it.

    Cut yourself some slack for a while, as you say, there's no help for it, and you're not just spending for the sake of it so it has to be done.

    The thing with going two steps forward, one and a half back, is that you are still headed in the right direction.

    When it is one and a half steps forward, two steps back, then you have to re-think what you are doing......
