    If it makes you two feel better I left bf in bed when I to town, and he was still asleep at 1.30! That said he has just made it out of Asda so I suppose he has done something at least.

    I've realised that in March I had 7k of debt, it's nearly 2k now. I'm really suprised how quickly I've got rid of it.

    :j:j well done you :A

    Thanks everyone. Since I've started working again I've abandoned a lot of the money making things, I just don't seem to have time anymore.

    About a year ago I lost the log in number for my online cc statement, I tried the lost number thing to get it back but it kept saying I had the wrong details. Anyway, I've just called them so I can finally log in again now. It's really good because I'll actually know what my balance is which should stop me from spending as much. I don't spend much now, but it's easier to get carried away if you don't know the exact balance.
    Finally bought a home

    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    Jen just found me hiding in my diary. I am around, just seem to flit on and post an update on my diary and flit off again. Sorry.
    I seem to be getting things I want which isn't so good as keep spending money when I should be paying off this debt.
