    Well I seem to be doing alright at the moment. *touch wood it stays like that*

    I have since end December put £1005.00 in to my ISA and have no credit card debt, well no debt of any kind.

    I am enjoying saving at the moment. I think the biggest thing that helping me at the moment is having a spending diary to track where my money goes. Also making sure what I buy is for the best possible price and most importantly making sure I actually really want or need it.

    Also self discipline. Which is what I have realised I had/still have at time a real lack of. Which leads me in to buying when I don't/need to.
