well done everyone!!

£70 for me today - £20 owed to me for buying a present for someone and my gran gave me £50 - tried to give it back as hate taking money from her but she insisted, so thankyou very much Gran xx

Hey Magpie23...my wife uses the 'take out and put in envelopes' approach! I was hesitant at first, but it works really well. Definitely feels great to be in control of the finances, and to know exactly what we have for stuff so we don't waste oodles of cash! Great to know that it's making life easier! Bring it on!!

Made me think about taking it small instead of thinking you had to pay big money it has even just gave me a buzz thinking about.

Thats the way! i used to think if i couldnt pay it all what was the point? but i started with the smaller ones and i keep thinking wheni debt free my husbands monthly wage we will be able to do what we want with it and thats what keeping me motivated. think it will be like giving up smoking starts well few bumps int he middle but u will get there in the end! cant believe what people buy at car boots and ebay ive thrown better away! gl hun x

This thread does really motivate. I've got off to a fair start, but I can't wait until I've got some more money to pay towards this.

Well done everyone for all your efforts and hearing everyones stories inspires us all the more.
