    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    not last night, as i thought was a bit manic will keep on at her though now she has said she will do it, especially going to push the fact that the sooner it is done the sooner we will be paying less interest

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Fingers crossed that when she sees the difference cutting interest rate makes it will be a big step on her personal journey to her LBM;)

    I did read back and I do think this is, in the long run, the best way to make her see the light.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    i do hope so, i also really hope barcleycard dont make things difficult as that would just put us back to square one with her LBM since i know that she would just sit there and think 'whats the point'
