Hi there HappyNow and your merry band of pudding- making followers! :wave:

I've just read your diary through from start to end and have found it very inspiring. I love your relaxed attitude...I'm a worrier and it's lovely to hear someone taking it all in their stride. You're doing so well.

I'm off to subscribe, and maybe see if that deal on a slow cooker is still on.

Best of luck.

You've done very well Happy. It isn't easy when you have a long debt journey in front of you. I've been doing this for years and still haven't got there yet!

Your review is brilliant, very clear and concise and tackles emotional side of things too.

To be able to find your reviews easily when you want to track back once in a while, why not colour the text blue [or any colour you prefer] That way it will stand out when you're doing a quick scroll through. I used to do that in my old diary, will the serious posts, made it easier to refer back.

Happy that is brilliant to do a little summary like that. Remember mountains are climbed one step at a time xx

happy I think you're doing brilliantly and I also think as part of the emotional part of the journey you need to acknowledge how inspirational you are for us readers too..it's great to read your diary!!

Back laters to review in detail!!

Wow! Thank you all so much for your lovely, supportive comments. It really does mean so much .

Both kids came home from uni for the Easter holidays last night, so I'm going to have to be careful they don't see me on here. I will be back late tonight to catch up on everybody's news but I can hear stirrings upstairs so have to go now x

Hi there..we'll be waiting for your posts!!

Have a great hols with your lovely DCs

Love the review. Really thoughtful and the way that you have answered the questions ( and posed the questions in the first place) is great. A good record of how far you have come.

BTW if your DC and OH ever knew about 'this' I think they would be very proud...maybe shocked at first..but very proud at your tenacity and drive

I have just read your review Happy. You have come a long way in three months and should be very proud of tHe changes you have made.

I see we still have lots in common. A car that needs replacing which is going to have a big impact on finances. Both aiming for the same DFD. And I have my two youngest home for Easter which is already having an impact on finances. But yesterday I had to borrow £100 from the youngest to cover some Direct debits.

Mrs Happy - what a great idea! Really enjoyed reading your review, and it has definitely given me some inspiration as I approach the three month mark too. Thanks, and well done so far! The debts might not be dropping by loads yet but you'll soon find some elbow room, then you can really come out swinging! :-)
