Hi Taxi
I've just come across your post and read it for the first time.
Congratulations on your credit card slaying; what an inspiration you must be to other people with debts.
I just wanted to say reference the gym; i too felt exactly like you. I plucked up the courage to join about 3 weeks ago after yet another day of getting upset with myself for the amount of weight i'd let myself put on. I'm so so glad i joined. Not only am i getting fitter and losing weight but i see it as 'me' time and i love it. I go into the gym and do classes as you get to join in with others. My favourite classes are pilates and kick kombat
Please find the courage to join. It will get you out and build your confidence; especially as you know people there.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.MFW 2025 #50: £1139.75/£600007/03/25: Mortgage: £67,000.00

Well done on slaying the A&L card: I can't believe that you are managing to slay things so quickly! Are you a real person, Taxi, or someone's imaginings on t'interweb?!
And if I manage to debt-slay/save that amount of money all year I would be DELIGHTED, never mind in four months or so! You are doing amazingly! :T
P.S. When you are finished with your debts, do you want to move onto mine? You'll get rid of them in a couple of weeks at your rate of working! Please call me 'Pickle'
