    Evening all.

    I rang a mortgage broker and spoke to her about remortgaging as our fixed rate is coming to an end. I would never have done that, ever, before. I even told her we are thinking about making overpayments (only teeny tiny and potential ones) so I needed her to ensure that was possible!!!!

    I could not be more proud of myself, or more grateful to Martin and everyone here for changing me. I know the DFW slogan is "proud to be dealing with my debts". Mine is "I'm proud to be able to deal with my money - not run away from it as money = too scarey!".

    Just needed to get that said. :o

    BB - tell him you can think of an easy way to drop about 14 stones (guessing..) of excess weight almost instantly.
