    Dont be sad, be positive over £3000 off is fantastic. At least you have had LBM and are no longer adding to debts.
    Enjoy your wine x x :beer:

    mrsaudus,i am still about.
    I can understand why you are feeling down. But look how much you have saved in 5 months,£3332. Thats vey impressive,so dont be too hard on yourself. But still havethat glass of wine and enjoy. Sending hugs to you. try not too think about it too much,as you will going be to sleep soon and you deserve a good nights sleep.
  • Lurleene, Pipsmum, Cassey - you are all so lovely and your words mean so much:A

    And you are right - without my LBM, the debts would have piled up and planning for our wedding and going back to uni would be so so much harder.

    So positive thinking...lots to look forward to and as September is the month it's all happening (and will be a year since joining MSE) I'll aim for us to have paid a real good chunk off the our debt.

    Love to you all

  • Mrs A2B - :rotfl: oops sorry I make you sound like a road map:D

    Just wanted to say you are doing really well, sticking at it day to day, posting on here every day and staying positive. If your sig is depressing you why not change it to percentage paid off your debts eg - you have paid off almost 10% of your original debt in 5 months:T :T :T sounds good to me:D

    Just a more positive way of looking at it.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.
