    Wow, can't believe it's been a year!

    I have loved having this thread to keep track of the progress everyone is making. In many ways things seem to have changed a lot and in others things are exactly the same!

    I'm feeling very reflective today actually because I think I need a career change but can't think of what I want to do. I do know that my current job is giving me so much stress it's already affecting my health, and the only reason I feel I can't leave is because I don't want to take the drop in salary. Can't wait til I'm DF and I can afford to take a pay cut.

    Thanks to all on here to continue to inspire, and I hope to keep up with what's going on over the next year!

    Proud to have dealt with my debts.
  • Oh dear - only managed to get three things on fleabay yesterday :(

    Can't believe it's been a year already! Where has the time gone? Even though I've not done great this year I feel I've learnt so much from you all - you've all been such a great inspiration! I'm already thinking about my goals and new year resolutions - MSE style.

    1. Always meal plan - meat does not have be part of every meal.
    2. Always remember to use a cashback site when purchasing an item on-line (hate to think how much I've missed out on this year)
    3. The heating doesn't need to be on if I'm warm!
    4. Repeat to myself "I do not need chocolate".

    There might be some more to add over the coming weeks. Has anyone else got any MSE style resolutions they'd like to share?
