301k in debt and morbidly obese - things aren't great!
Comments

Briefly resurfacing after another self-imposed exile: car trouble, loft dischord, landline trauma have all contributed to an unprecedented level of chaos in the Bloater household. Wine, KFC, Dominos have all been used to paper the cracks and exercise has slipped even further from my mind, as has moneysaving. Am just trying to crawl over to the finishing line at the moment and hopefully come Saturday will be able to restart. This diary helped get me back on track at the end of August, let's hope there's still some magic left in now. Cos I need all the magic I can get.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Good Luck Mr BWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0

Stay strong a little bit longer Mr B - Saturday is in sight.Sorry you're having such a rough time. How is work, or don't I ask?
You know we're all here with encouragement if that will help. I think we relaxed a bit once you reappeared after your last absence, so the lack of 'Where is Mr B' posts isn't indicative of forgetfulness on our part, rather a sigh of relief that you're still talking to us, mixed with an acknowledgement that you can't always spare time and energy to post. The activity on the 2K/2Stone/4 months challenge shows we are keeping your seat for you.

Sorry to hear of your woes, Mr B. Tackle things one at a time, bit by bit. A wholesale life-overhaul when you have so much on your plate is too much.
A new habit here, sell something there, slowly and surely wins the day.
Good luck. :beer:0 -
Don't look back Mr B - just start again tomorrow or in this case Saturday. I have got off to a lousy start to the year financially and weight wise but l l know l will only haave failed when l give up for good. Love to all and huggs x Moo :beer::j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0

Must admit, have given-up my diary and moved back to my old blog. Keep popping in here to see if there are any new posts.
Time to shake-off the snow and get stuck-in to hammering those debts MrB.
One more statement to come, and I will be able to bring YNAB fully up to date and discover my true debt amount.
How are the books selling MrB. ?. You seem to have gone quite on the literary front of late.Never Knowingly Understood.
