    Hi,

    Yes I have a diary, it helps me to stay on track :D, and yes I like reading through others too, I pick up so many tips, and it helps to know there are others in the same boat who are suceeding in paying of their debts gives me lots of hope.

    It's really good that you are looking ahead to make sure you stay motivated, and you'll find lots of help on here too :)

    If you don't mind me asking what money program did you download ? sounds interesting.

    Well survived the summer holidays lol! Managed to do much better than planned so total debt reducing nicely with hopefully another large chunk gone next week! Have managed to sell quite a few bits so now need to focus as that debt free day is now firmly in my sights and want to get there as quickly as possible!

    Thanks :-) will most definitely not continue at this pace as all the big things we could sell etc are done now but made a good indent so the total seems much more manageable now!

    :-( not managed to pay anything much off this month due to car problems but hopefully all sorted now and we can crack on! Need to redo the budget as some utilities have changed and we have downgraded other things... will get on to it!
