Had mince and tatties for dinner tonight, we have approx 500g if mince which does us for 4 meals, I am going to try and get this down to 400g for 4 meals I think losing 25g of mince per meal won't hurt too much especially as we have started packing out the meals with more veg, tonight's veg was cabbage, sweet potato, carrot and turnip with carrot and onion in the mince

Have enjoyed reading your diary. The timings for debt/MF are very similar to mine, so your helping me keep focussed as i do falter! Like the scenario of the little steps up the mountain, will remember that when the going gets tough! Good luck.:)
Hi Lexington , lovely to see you I do enjoy reading your diary also, like you I also plan on paying the money off the mortgage, I seem to have the other debts sorted ( although I still have some high interest ones that need to be tackled, and some interest free visa transfers are also due to end soonish ) but I like the idea of plugging away at the mortgage so that when it comes time to concentrate on the mortgage I will have less to deal with

Really glad you are feeling a bit better.
I know it's a hard slog, but you re getting there day by day. I bet that when you are fully well again, it will all seem much brighter. Until then, remember that we are with ou, cheering you on.
