Thanks Missy. I basically have tried a No Spend Month- buying essentials only. It helped that I've been ill most of it- less petrol, no eating out etc. Have thrown every spare penny at the debt.2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0

Thanks everyone- I wouldn't be doing so well without all the help I get on here. A month ago I was really down because I'd had a bad month with unexpected money going out. Having worked really hard to reduce the debt I was almost back where I started again. People on here encouraged me to keep going and cheered me up. If it wasn't for them I'd have probably ended up getting in more trouble by emotional spending. Thanks guys.2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0
