Wow you are doing fantastic!! We started with a similar amount, but because DH and I havent given db'ing the focus we should have, the last few months for us have been wasted and our debts have remained pretty much the same :mad:
Anyway, your diary is so inspiring. Hoping now that we can claw it back a bit.

Oh on the weight front I actually suck I am still 12st 3lbs which means I have only lost 3lbs but its better than putting weight on I suppose

Thanks hon - I know I am just so determined to get rid of this debt that nothing is going to stop me!
I just need to get the same determination with the weight loss.
I am going to try & stick to WW old points plan for the whole of May so starting today - I really hope I can do it!
I will update on hear aswell on how I am doing with that cos thats all the debt busting done until next payday which is aaaaaaaaaages away!!!
( I am doing old WW points however I know this is wrong but the only fruit I am going to point is Bananas - Kinda cheating a bit - If the weight loss stops I will start pointing all fruit tho
)

I admire you for doing TWO really hard things at a time. I am rubbish and can only focus on one at a time although by doing the grocery challenge, I am hoping I will be buying less naughty snacks!
I couldn't survive on just an apple for breakfast, though. You must be seriously tough.
Good luck.
