Just saying thanks to you all...

Hi!

I just wanted to share how chuffed I am that since finding this site in Feb and implementing some of the tips straightaway, I have been reviewing my current account and have had no charges from bank since the end of Feb!

There's still a long way to go, we have an outstanding loan to work on, two overdrafts and more work to do on our budget, plus a period of reduced pay maternity leave in the second half of this year. But with what I have worked on so far and the plans I have, I am feeling more and more optimistic about things. Plus it's great to know I can pop in here anytime to ask the most ridiculous questions (I'm a worrier, what can I say? :D ) and someone will help.

So thankyou all!:T :T

    Well done, have you thought about claiming back your bank charges as they will likely make a nice hole in your debt :)

    I have pondered upon it and I am going to go for it. I am feeling all positive today!
