    Hi Goodlife,

    I've just discovered your diary and read through from start to finish. Your aim to simplify and declutter and pay off your debts really struck a chord with me. That is exactly what we need to do.
    We have started working towards this but have a major family holiday wedding coming up in Australia at Christmas. Our plan is to go away and enjoy the holiday and really work towards declutter ing, simplifying and paying off our debts when we return.
    I'm not working at the moment so it's a priority to find a job and I really need to be brave and add a signature which shows the true amount of debt we have:o don't feel I can at the moment.
    But just wanted to say I have subscribed and looking forward to following your journey and begining my own.
    Also just to say we had our house up for sale from April last year until October. The only offers were way below the valuation, so we have taken it off the market and plan to put it back on in the new year.
    Thanks for the inspiration

    Hi,

    I've bought quite a few books from amazon sellers, both new and used, and they have always been good, found it a great way to get a bargin.
