    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.

    Broke another barrier aswell I am now officially under 5k - My total debt is £4829.69!!!!!!

    So I have paid off today:-

    I can see the light at the end of this debt tunnel.

    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 :p

    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 :p)

    May challenge Day 1

    B - Apple
    L - Hoisin Duck Wrap with a salad - 5.5
    S - Apple, Activia Fat Free Peach - 1.5
    D - Jacket Potato, Beans, Beetroot - 8
    S - Yorkie - 5.5
    Total Points - 20.5

    So day 1 has been a SUCCESS :j

    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. :)
