    Thanks DDFW..I have just posted on your new aspirational diary!! :)

    Yes it's minimising the treats that's the thing. In days gone by we would have had dinner out and the movie today..now it's just the movie. We will have just as much fun too.

    Have a good weekend and don't work too hard

    Just catching up with your diary brizzle and LOVING the news that you're into the £4800s!!!! I can't wait to be down that far! Well done! That has to feel good!

    I also love that you realise just how different your mindset is now from just a year ago. I think that's absolutely essential for debt busting success.

    Looking forward to witnessing your debt freedom very soon! :D Lots of love and luck to you. :)
