Paying off debts by taking money saving to the extreme.

I echo what CamNollie says - stay focused - don't give up.

By the way, Sparrer posted great tips for you - it wasn't her who made the mortgage comment.

Hope things improve for you

Also, don't forget appliances on stand by. Boiling a kettle unnecessarily full, radiators on too high.

I used to keep my microwave switched on 24/7. Now it is plugged in when I'm about to use it - and unplugged straight away!

Sorry sparrer, your comments were helpful, I meant makeyourdaddyproud when I commented about the £300,000 comment, please forgive me:(

It's fine fairyface, I've been visiting DM all day and just got in so missed the comment anyway. I agree mtdp's remark was a bit tasteless, hopefully they will think about what they said and not use that expression again. Thank you very much for your apology, and thank you wmf for setting the record straight. No harm done

Sorry, I meant missrlr.

Looking at their sig, I am so glad I am mortgage free. 300k debt just seems unimaginable. How did it get so bad?

For those that thought it was them, I apologise if it came across as harsh.

Regards.

I have felt like chucking in this thread, I have been told at work will possibly have less the normal hours due to quiet times, they have cut my hours by half, ::(, just when I want to really crack on something like that happens, have decided to give up on the big supermarket chains for a few months, and use high street, and lidl to see if this will cut down the food bill. Cooked from stratch every night last week, going to cut down on meat too, one night will be meat meal, next day soups, something on toast etc.Off to check ebay now.

Don't give up Fairyface - you are being so focused - you will get there - I did, so you can as well

Take care x

It takes a big person to apologise, so thank you for that. In turn I apologise for referring to you as mtdp, not mydp!
