    Hi JC
    Good to see you join this thread too. How are you getting on? I haven't used my cc since 11th November... not that long but it feels good for me! I can't quite cut the last one up, I always have a fear of some crisis or another and needing it to pay for something!

    Hiya psycho, well, I havent quite got the hang of the payment a day yet. seem to be too disorganised! lol. but havent used the credit card now for about 2 weeks, so not too bad. I am thinking about putting mine in a block of ice in the freezer, so I wont get tempted!. I too, always worry that something will happen and I will need to credit card, but im sure we will be ok. we must stay strong!! we will get there!

    I'm definitely not making a payment a day, but have started including my sealed pot which means it's almost every day, even if it's only pennies at a time. Yes we will get there!!

    Hi Sarah, was looking out for this challenge to start again and still managed to miss it! Would I be able to join please? I am giving up buying food at work, getting the bus to work (will walk instead, as opposed to just not going! :p) and using credit card.

    Have not done any of these things since the challenge started anyway as was in training for it!

    Thanks and good luck everyone
