Hey,
Firstly just to say thank you to everyone who replied to my first post there was so many good ideas and encouragement so ive started on my mission to get rid of my debt!
So far Ive lowered my phone tariff and have set it up so I can keep an eye on my minutes and txts so I dont go over (I cant change to pay as you go as ive got a fixed term contract)
Im also changing my monthly train pass to a bus pass saving me just over £30 a month. Im not quite brave enough to cycle in!!
Tomorrow night I have a friend coming over whos in a similair situation so were going through everything we spend and looking at where we can cut back. Shes moving in soon so well beable to keep tabs on each other that way!
Oh and Im also looking for a part time job!!
Ill let you know how i get on.
Thanks again : )

Well Done Danni! Great to see that you've been inspired! But don't worry if things go a bit slow at times and the enthusiasm wanes, keep on here and keep posting and you'll find the debt will continue to go down!!Official DFW Nerd Club #20 :cool: Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts
