Hi Brizzle,
Another one here counting up the money and its right at the start of the month :eek: Have had a couple of spends though - one budgeted and carefully considered skirt, top, bracelet and necklace - all less than half price in the sale - i have been waiting :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: off plan was 2 dresses, necklace and earrings
stunning though and a much needed moment of retail pleasure i am sad to say - but did nab bargains and pretty ones they are too so not all bad 
Ooh are there any recipes for this dahl of which you speak?
I haven't tried AF yet - i keep meaning too but out cupboards are so full as is the freezer, fridge etc. that i am constantly trying to get things used up instead of more things in - maybe the time will be when i've run all stocks completely down 
Meant to say - i heeded your advice re. older vehicles = repairs so i am going to get myself a wee jar and start throwing bits of money in it - maybe end of week change, or all the bits of change that makes my bag so heavy to carry and i'm going to pop a picture of a campervan on it - thanks brizzle
Hope you have a lovely weekend - i am in work so won't be around much xxCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -

Hi brizzled!
I've been reading your diary from the beginning (I'm up to page 55 currently so don't ruin the ending for me lol!!) I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you...you're story feels very similar to mine and even though I've not got to your debt free date yet, you've already inspired me enough to come out of the virtual darkness and face my debt demons and start my own diary tonight.
Just wanted to say thank you...£1589.94 cc - DFD 31/12/22; £156,737.24 mortgage free target date 1/10/2026; £158,327.18 Total; Starting debt Jan 2019 £393,068; 60% cleared.0 -
Thank you NOA
Hazel ...what a lovely thing to say.. And very humbling that you are reading my diary all the way through...what I will say is that I wouldn't have changed my life around without the support of folks on these threads. Amazing support. A life changing experience.
Have a great weekend folks xxMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
