    Welcome! :)

    I fully understand about no knowing what to do with your degree... I've been a teacher for 13 years now, and if I gave it up, I have absolutely no idea how I would transfer my skills to another job - it's like getting stuck and not seeing a way out. Does Uni have a careers advisor, or could you speak to a tutor to see what your options are?

    I've been thinking about your clothes budget, and thinking you spend loads!!! (Actually, I may just be jealous, cos I never find Primark stuff to suit me!) Firstly, why don't you join the 100 days challenge? I joined, and now everytime I think about buying my 'trigger' items (even though they are small) I remember the challenge, and feel guilty! It's a good way to start, and soon you realise that you don't really need the things you thought you did.

    Go on, I challenge you! :D

    Good luck on getting through the rest of your degree and with you DFW journey.
