Diary to stop me going backwards!

Hi all,
Just starting a new diary as although I managed to pay off my debts earlier this year, I've managed to let all my good habits slip. I've not dropped back into debt, but I'm bumping along the 'zero' line, and I'd like to start building up some savings.
I found keeping a diary on here really helped me reach my goals, so I'm starting up again.
So, back to quidco etc and maybe even a bit of matched betting (although I may need some hand-holding)
Feel free to add your comments along the way - here goes!!!

Congrats on working so hard on getting rid of your debt! Very impressed. I've not managed to keep up with your diary, but now I'm back in here I probably will!

You should know me better than that :rotfl:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
I've just had a go on that quick credit checker - and come out with a feeble low score. Eek! I think it's because I have been late on a few payments to my 'work' amex charge card doh! That's down to getting behind on claiming expenses - got to change that situation.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 208 - Proud To Have Dealt With My Debts DEBT FREE DECEMBER 2008!!!0

So make that the first thing you commit to changing - right now. From today you will NOT be late on your payments! You can't afford to mess up your credit score long term, so make a note of today's score, and check it again in 6 months time, when you have had 6 months of prompt payments and being on top of things.

Arghhh - lost my post twice now!
Created a new Numbers spreadsheet just with direct debits so far. This popped into my inbox this morning, so I'll listen to it this lunchtime and report back...
