    Diet........whats that.......

    If I jumped on the scales they'd say - one person at a time....... last yr we went up on a helicopter pleasure flight (just 5 mins), I had to be weighed, not gd... then dd got weighed and the lady who was organising it said don't worry, dd and u 2gether = 2 adults, and then had to ring home for dads weight he was 12stone... when we went for the flight there were taking 4 up at a time we got there, she said don't worry its just the 3 of u!! did take it as a compliment that she was keeping it to just us, until dd said mum u are heavy, maybe you weigh to much!!
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Not sure if it will help at all but since January I take all the cash i need out of bank and make all cc payments on pay day then i dont touch the bank unless emergencies, that way if i run out of money for shopping I have to use store cupboard. I find it too easy to nip to shop for something i fancy the first few months were a little tight but now I seem to have a nice bit left for overpayments just before payday

    Sorry you put on weightums - but as you say you were on your holliers and that is ok.

    You are doing ok with the debt so why impose the DMP on yourself. But if you feel it will help then go for it.
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

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

    Good stuff, BTD. Glad to see you are remaining upbeat. And don't worry about the weight as it sounds like you are going to work hard to sort it out. :)
