and it will be the first official day to our new debt free life :beer:
Small things have changed over the last week (since i had my LBM)
we have decided to take the cash out of the bank for groceries every week instead of paying by card, also giving hubby the calculator to take with him

So will i :rotfl:
Right now i'm motivated and have even managed to motivate hubby who has had 3 NSD this week
Bought a new printer (with vouchers i had for a while) so i could print off the tax relief form and snowball calculator. All statements, snowball calculator and list of debts compiled into a folder
Will also be checking the bank every day to keep a close eye on finances. Watch this space.... DEBT FREE AND PROUD'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt'0 -

Hi, i haven't but hubby does the shopping so will just send him with cash and a calculator (he won't want to fail in the challenge[male pride]) so i'm sure we'll be on budget. I think i'll do the diary thing that i've seen posted though.... DEBT FREE AND PROUD'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt'0 -

As well as the cash and the calculator, don’t forget to give your husband the LIST.
Simple rule – if it’s on the list, it can be bought. If not, it stays on the shelf.
Best of luck to you both for your journey
