Missy,
That is SUCH a good way of thinking about each day! I am struggling so much to keep motivated at work at the moment (mainly due to not having a massive amount to do), I am definitely going to try and make that choice on the way to work tomorrow. Thanks for that.
Nice to see you back and getting back on top of things - I wouldn't worry too much about the time OH was home. Just think how far you have come in general. xxLBM 17th August 2009 Debt at LBM £18,612 Proud to be dealing with my debts.0 -

I have even more of an incentive to pay off my debt now, me and OH have decided to try for a baby as of next month, as it looks like dec and jan he will be away when it's best for baby making but he's home on the right days in novemeber so we thought we would try from then. But that also means I need to pay my debt by august-ish :eek: But I am determined to get on top of it. Have uped my repayments to £250 a month, I think that this might cut if rather tight but I just have to pay it off.
Have been reasonabley good foodwise today, work is still hugely getting to me, I stayed positive all day though and smiled constantly, so thinks are looking up.
Been having a sneaky peek at baby stuff on the internet too, my goodness stuff is expensive!!!!
speak soon
Missy

Hi MissyMoo,
Just saying Hello, life not too bad...just waiting for some *&^%@## to mess it up
.
Finding free time for yourself is essential as it helps "recharge the batteries", both mentally and physically, so i hope to see MissyMoo's fancy new nails in the near future!.
I know we are all trying to get debt free but I like to think I am "living with debt" and will soon hopefully live life without it but most of all, I am still going to live my life as it's mine, not the bank's or credit card company's..end of rant.
Been busy working overtime at weekend, which will (hopefully :eek: )pay for car service and MOT next month. Have been slightly naughty on the spending front last few days but OH gets paid Friday :T - her first pay cheque for 22 months and I know she will really value it.
Good Luck with OH for the Baby Moo.
