    Hi Happy

    I always draw out my weekly allowance for petrol, shopping, spending etc in cash then I know exactly where I am.

    I also check my account online every day and update my budget spreadsheet to the penny, then there are no nasty surprises.

    Sometimes I wish I could just move home to my parents and live rent free for a year. I would definitely meet my goal of debt free by Dec 2011 then. I think it would be the end of me and the OH though lol!

  • If only life was that simple. I think I'm going to take a backseat for awhile. I'm finding the constant reminder of figures although going down abit of a mental meltdown I mean I just feel like I need a break from the reminder of the numbers been so huge and ATM soul destroying x be good and il check in often just might try to refrain from posting I feel like my lifes just about debt debt debt payday payday payday x

    Hey Happy, haven't been in for a while. Sorry to hear about your cat, and that things have been tough for you recently. Hope you feel better soon. You've done really well so far and so there's nothing wrong with taking a little break. Hugs x
