    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi Lynz - you're NOT useless, you're just having a low moment. We all get tired and fed up with the debt situation taking so long to shift. You've had an awful lot on your plate lately as well, which I'm sure has ground you down and sapped your energy.

    For ideas for spending time at home (you'll note that I didn't include the 'usefully'), why not come and join us in the Cult of the Slatterns? We're in the Arms in our PJs at the moment!

    Best wishes.
    Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)
    Debt free success date: 14.8.2006 :j

    Perhaps you should try some meditation, its brilliant for changing your mood :)
  • lynz you could start by donating me your 35p, now that will cheer you up lol
  • ahhh hun - sending you big hugs
    i agree with everything above, you are an inspiration and have helped me out loads and loads and you have done so well yourself.

    we all have bad days with money saving (or months in my case!!)


    get back on that wagon missy and keep you chin up.

    and most of all dont be so hard on yourself you are doing so well have some time to relax and reflect on how much you have done so far xxx

    Right back some time ago when I found DFW I was so full of energy and motivation was at full tilt. I just couldnt stop moneysaving.

    Now I just feel like, blueeerrrrgghhhh

    I have no motivation.

    It doesnt help that Im unwell and generally feel quite weak, Im desperate to get back to work, bt alas this doesnt seem to be something thats going to happen.

    I have very little to sell now, and Im just, well, flailing. At one point i was overpaying like mad, now I just cant find the money to do it, but think, well im not looking hard enough etc.

    SOMEBODY HELP ME!

    I felt exactly the same a few days ago, I guess it's only natural to feel like this every now and again, don't let it drag you down too much, you're an inspiration to many so wallow for a little bit but then pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get back to it!

    Good luck and stay strong!
