    Dragoncry, thank you for starting this thread, it has made my Saturday! :T My LB moment came in the new year and I am trying as many challenges as I can to rid ourselves of the credit card debt. I am:

    Aiming to fill up the car a maximum of once a month.

    Avoiding town as much as poss and if I have to go in, only paying for an hour's parking to avoid browsing!

    Cooking from scratch, baking 2-3 times a week and using portion contol!

    Sticking to my shopping list which is built around week's meal plan.

    Turning leftovers into freezer 'ready meals'.

    Getting huge satisfaction out of paying off debt rather than buying more stuff I don't need and only adds to it.

    Stopped buying magazines that I never really read, all the information I need is here and is tried and tested!

    And sooo much more!

    Budgetboo, I truly couldn't agree with you more!
