    BTD - Give yourself a break hun!

    You are always so focused and organised (who was the first MSE'er with Christmas pressies bought and wrapped???!!!)

    One fall off the wagon does not a calamity make. Just forget the blip and keep doing what you're doing, because you HAVE changed already :A

    Hi guys do you ever feel panicky about how much you owe?:eek: I think its cause i read about people seeing other peoples signatures and suggesting dmp's.:(
    I have two years on a loan i pay 350 pm for and this last year had gone so far so i think two years will fly by but.................. at the same time i wont start wishing my life away either??x:)

    I was in the same boat, felt that I was paying a wack off, but not reducing the sum of money, coz of interest being added on, so changed my sig to pay out, in theory my snowball said 3.5k, but last yr hit 5k, aiming the same this year.......I know my loan finishes Nov 2015...... so just plodding away to then xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
