    Just thought i would drop by after your visit today, it's nice to know we are not on our own.
    Im trying to give up spending for lent and i have definately given up cc :T
    Well done on your journey so far have you worked out how much you have cleared in your 1st year of debt busting.
    I have the biggest spreadsheet ever and im always adding extras like how many days left until DFD. I have subscribed and hopefully will be around to encourage or compare notes
    MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
    EST DFD JAN 2021 (that needs to change)
    NOW JAN 2019 (that still needs to change)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
