Hi

Great idea. Count me in. It's only been a couple of months since my lbm and some days I feel like I'm in control other days I feel really panicked that I'm losing it so any extra encouragement is certainly welcome.

I think once the initial burst of dfw, changing suppliers, spending diary, snowball, pigsback, quidco, ebay etc has gone, keeping the faith day to day can be a bit harder (particularly if you've got a long time till dfd)

you said it serialdieter, and this is all about setting up habits for a lifetime, welcome aboard!

Oh can I jump on in?

I've just had my lightbulb moment take 2, where I actually added up everything only to find it higher than the first one!

SHOCKING!
Been here for 8 months and debt not gone down. ARRGGHH!

I've already got a spending diary which I keep in my bag, and although it works for some people with cash, I use my debit card, and regulalryreview my online statement, helps in case I forget to write them down, and then I can see where my money is going.

I've already discovered over the past 4 weeks. Tesco is getting a lot of my money!

welcome aboard, as someone who is already starting to write down their spends I'm sure you'll have lots of hints for the rest of us :T

Thanks, I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!! It's not going up as fast as it once was...but it hasn't gone down at all. OH is still without work (self-employed) and having problems even finding cleaning work to make up the shortfall.

My wages don't cover all the bills and we seem forever scraping around trying to pay all the bills. :rolleyes:

Hi there

I would like to join in too, please....:j I'm rubbish at getting my head around things at times, and would love to get support from others to keep on track and get the debt down.

I had a major light bulb moment last week, when everything got on top of me and I now need to make a BIG dent in what we have to pay off.

Do we start from tomorrow?
