    Well done on the sales! I've shifted 2 bought in things on eBay, just waiting for 2nd one to pay.

    Have also been decluttering and sorting papers etc. MFW seems to affect so many other areas of life!

    It does doesn't it catshark :) ... And the thing is I can't seem me ever going back to the way we were either, they are changes I am liking

    I was standing in cash converters today selling our DVDs and we were getting 25p a DVD for them, part of me was screaming !!!!!! you paid a fortune for them, and part of me was saying and what you don't watch them, you don't need them, just ensure you don't waste the little money your getting for them... My house is tidier, I have a lot less rubbish ( still got a lot to go though) but I know now that I won't be going out and wasting money on other things like DVDs, and even though I paid £8 off of our debt and not the mortgage, because we are remortgaging I basically did pay it off the mortgage just in a more round about way

    What are you doing with your money ?

    It's deff about a shift in mental processing .. If only I could get that shift for sugar now :)

    I haven't heard from him so New Years Resolution sounds quite likely.
