  • haha 11p you wild thing.... it all adds up though!! That's a good idea about having a sealed pot, I do that but only because I hate loose change in my purse so may aswell save it. Believe it or not anything 5p and under I used to throw in the bin, then mum caught me doing it 1 day and went mad, so saved them ever since.
    How's the job front??

  • Don't feel lonely there are plenty of people on these boards offering support, advice & just there for you.

    Have just read your diary and think you are doing really well and on the right track. You have a lovely little family with a supportive partner.

    There are moments when you'll find it hard and think what's the point but try to think of all the positive steps you have made since your LBM no matter how small it all counts and will spur you on!

    Good Luck and i'll keep reading on your progress.

    Keep Smiling :)

  • Thanks everhopeful it's just one of those days! It's wet and miserable out which don't help lift your spirits I will feel more positive tomorrow I'm sure

  • Hi Snow, Don't feel down, just think how good it will feel when you see your debt reducing. What I find helps is putting your money situation in your signature so everytime you post you will see what you have achieved. It works for me.
    e.g £45 wedding
    £xx paid towards debt, etc
