    OMG Dh has started to ask questions about how much debt we have and how much we have paid off does this mean he has had his LBM.
    He doesnt think i will clear Virgin this month watch this space hubby.
    I will get myself a small notebook tomorrow and start a spending diary something i didnt think i needed but clearly i can do better. I will also list my food intake as this seems to be increasing as is my waist.:(
    So new week new month new challenge :)

    Great that OH is taking notice of the debt and what you are doing etc. I think having an OH on board helps so much. My OH looks for cheaper meals we can batch cook etc. He never spends any unnecessary money which is great. But then he never really gets involved in the actual paying off of the debts. :D

    Me and hubby have a night set aside at the end of each month where we go through what we have spent all month and how much the debt has been reduced, it keeps us really focused and I don't feel so bad then saying no to evenings out and things because he knows we can't afford it. Its not all good though he still laughs at me for posting on the forum everyday ;)

    :beer:well done mr herewego, welcome to mse world :beer:

    If OH nd I did that ..............we would never have to arrange a night for the following month!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    New job is in something I used to do, been in accounts for 20 years until last year when i got made redundant. I got offered a new job through word of mouth was supposed to be accounts based but has never turned out that way and its sales account manager and I hate it. Im so desperate to get out I will take anything, but I should use it to better myself but I dont know how long i can wait.
    Have a good day everyone I see the sun is shining
