    well today it's been nearly a month since we decide to DO something about our debt issues..ok i have got myself in more debt...but i have totally changed my way of thinking....we have done more behind the scenes work ..ie change gas and elec suppliers..checked out apr's applied for tax rebates opened new accounts...these things may start to benefit us soon ..at least that is the plan ..i have hubby on board most of the time...son is doing ok just a few wee hickups...nephew ..well he has agreed with eveything we have put to him ..and it is making a difference...just one month in and although i had a few negative days ..mainly on the whole i've been positive ..and once again it's through this site ..with everyones support and the various challenges i have taken up ...i now know we will get there....
