    Hi Beccie! Thanks for posting on my diary, I've been away for the weekend seeing my oh! :j which was great but we ended up spending some unnecessary money too :rotfl:£45 on a taxi :eek:

    Well I just came on here to say that I look forward to following your journey and I'm also extremely jealous that you are going away again! I am going to subscribe so I don't lose your diary either :)

    Hey, nice to see you!

    That's robbery for the taxi!

    Mind you to save money we walked home on Saturday night - an hour and a half later (especially as I'd not taken a coat!) I wished we had just got in a taxi! :rotfl:

    Hope you had a lovely weekend with your OH :)

    Hi Beccie,
    Sounds like you are doing amazingly well! Can totally relate as I am getting very frustrated at the moment that my debts aren't coming down as quickly as I want them to and have to keep reminding myself that it is slow and steady that counts.

  • Hi Beccie,

    I’ve followed you over here and I have, of course, subscribed! I think that everybody has the realisation after their LBM that their debt won’t disappear overnight… but hopefully we’ll all reach the debt-free mark eventually (preferably without killing ourselves in the process!).

    Hi there - sounds like you have a great attitude - I think I am still in the throw everything at it phase but that is bound to calm down when the initial excitement wears off!

    I would like to subscribe tpo your diary but I am afraid I am somewhat of a dimwit in all matters technical and dont know how to do it - can anyone help me with that please?
