    Hi guys!
    My poor darling husband is bad. Doctor gave him morphine tablets which make him sick. I want him to go to therapist, £30 per session :( Not very moneysaving, but his health is most important. £1 from me. I still need to show example, that you can paying your debts despite unlucky events.

    :grouphug::grouphug: Hope he is on the mend soon Amara :grouphug::grouphug:

    :hello:

    Hiya all 100 dayers xxx

    Well done to everyone so far :T

    Nor been posting but have made some payments this month including what I thought was a staggering amount of £37 which I had in my 'penny pot' and added up and got to the bank before payday :):) (Thank you NSDs for that) it actually felt really good putting it all into the bank then paying it all out through the internet when I got home :)

    Have also made some payments since payday of £160 so that makes a total so far of £197 paid and £553 remaining. I'm waiting for the statement for one of the cards on 1st of month so have got some put back for that (and hope to get rid of the £3 LOL)

    Off to collect my election canvas envelopes..........just as the weather's getting rubbish :( Mind you it's still fairly dry so need to get some done this afternoon.

    Keep plodding all

    Love and kisses to you both! And you're right there is ASBOULTELY NOTHING more important than a person's health and if you can't spend your money making a loved one better then what's the point of having money? Or dare I say it, even credit cards for 'Break Glass in case of Emergency' situations? For all of it's faults, I'm so grateful for our NHS system.

    And well done you for still making payments and keeping that debt-free momentum going, you're a better person than I, I think everything would come to a grinding halt in my house if that had happened to us! You're an inspiration, thank you.

    My original intention this morning was to come on here, :j 'ing for joy as it's payday and I can afford to whack another £1000 off of the evil cc debt, check out new sig, but reading your post Amara has put things into perspective. OH was going to take me Clay Pigeon Shooting and I said 'WOW! That's lots of money let's paid it off the cc's instead.' (I know, I told you MSE was transforming me from the inside out. I didn't know it would possess ;) me too!) We were very, very silly to get ourselves into this mess but equally it would be STUPID not to balance out the cc debt with time owed to our loved ones. This is meant to be a game; not a sacrifice (we've done that bit already!)

    Thank you again, Amara, if it wasn't for you starting this thread, I wouldn't be this amazingly focused person that I am today! So, :beer:.

    Well done everyone and keep up the good work.
