Time To Sort My Life Out

robsmum_2

Hi BlueJeans:
Just caught up on your diary. Well Done and a big hug for taking control and getting debt free and in such a short time. Pat yourself on the back, relax and enjoy Christmas and then tackle the next demon.

Would it help your weight if you took the same sort of approach as you did to debt busting? Babysteps all the way and maybe slowly start to look at the issues from your past. I read a book on giving up smoking that said something on the lines of all our addictive behaiours stem from the past, sort of made me think a bit about why and when I started smoking.

Keep posting cause we want to keep you on the frugal side of the fence and help you with the next project.

Hiya Winner12, fab to hear from you and :T:T:T well doneon the weight loss. I could walk a lot more than i do.......lazy lazy me. But must look at it as a form of everyday exercise. Looking forward to getting into to some long walks as a free activities to enjoy with OH, instead of expensive holiday weekend breaks. Keep me posted on your weight loss, how are you doing with the eats ?


robsmum. I am not debt free yet as no PPI or pay from theater has arrived yet :mad::mad::mad:. Being debt free will be a great relief but then will be a bigger task for me. Having spare money and not going out and spending it will be a killer for me.........far harder than being frugal to pay my debts off. So i will be defiantly staying around, I will need all the help I can get to stop me going back to my old ways, I have been close to debt freedom before, then for some god knows what reason I have just stopped and gone back into debt again :eek: why is totally beyond me.

As well as a household folder. I now have a "Me" folder. Its all about me :rotfl:. What I want to achieve, what my goals are. Pictures past and presents, article clippings. I intend to fill it with lots of different things as part of my Journey Forward.

Payday on Friday..........tight hold of the money reins over the weekend bluejeans :money:

NO YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think how well you have done! Who would have imagined a while ago that you would have had £10 sparish the day before payday?
Good for you.

I didn't half do it, I got out my chritmas decorations instead. Hung on to the money but had two chocolate biscuits with coffee.

Hi
You should have had Coffee and 1 choccie biscuit and start as you mean to go on support comes in many guises and from me its a wet fish slap in the face when you slip off the wagon so stick with it and if you do half of what you did with debt busting its plain sailing so get your mits out of the cookie jar and keep up the good work !!

Still here, just been busy. Worked 4 days Flexi work, then back on nights last night.

Thanks for the kick up the but Winner12, just what I need.

Still no PPI payment or wages from Theatre :mad::mad::mad:.

When I missed a payment, they were soon on my case, less than a week........now they owe me it a whole different storey :mad:

Hi
Just to say it took about 6 weeks for my PPI to come through it must be about that for you surely

bluejeans53

Now my problems realy start. How to hang onto my money and not go back to my old ways. :eek:
