right, time to take a deep breath and move forwards.......
first stop...........the cider shop for something just for me to relax with, if it's going to be my thoughts in my head, they might as well be good ones..........;)
"This is it. This is the moment when success happens.
This is the moment when you can choose to either follow your dreams or to sabotage them. This is when you select and execute the specific actions that create the reality of your life.
Achievement is not some far off, future concept. Achievement is built from what you do now.
You will not ever get anything done if you keep scheduling it for someday. What you do with now is what truly makes a difference in your life.
Remember now, and again and again, that this is where your consequences are determined. This is when you put real life and substance into your dreams. Enjoy this moment in all its fullness, and remember. You are creating your life right now.""Stay Wonky":D

Well done on being debt free. You are very hard on yourself, unnecessarily so - you have coped with such a lot over the last few years, but here you are, working your a$$ off, building a future - you should be proud of what you have achieved.
All of us have slipped back at some point. At least you didn't slip so far that it couldn't be dealt with, even if the solution has left you feeling a little empty.
Had more to say but Natasha is currently applying mascara to her forehead :rolleyes: so must run, but come and celebrate your debt-freeness with us on the daily chat...in fact don't celebrate that if it feels wrong, celebrate the chance of a new start, from today."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
Hi bb,
Sorry to hear you are not feeling good at the moment. I love your diary on here, it is incredibly inspirational.
Well done on being debt free again, I truly hope that you can manage to enjoy when you feel a bit better.
Love that quote - print it out and carry it around with you when you need a little boost.

much less juggling and worrying about meeting minimums to worry about BB, think how much of an achievement it'll feel once you've built the savings back up - and you will, just have a bit of faith in yourself.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
