USometimes I have a wee think of money that I wasted and can't even remember what on, then I think about how different I am now ... Not even just financially but every part of me has changed, then I realise I had to go through what I did so that I can really appreciate where I am just now ... And I LOVE where I am .. I also can't regret the money we spent, yep I can't remember exactly what it was on for a lot of things ... But I do rember having a lot of fun

I still do have a lot of fun, it's just different fun

I am REALLY looking forward to being debt free and being able to do more travelling, this wouldn't be possible if I had carried on the way I was going

Don't regret the past ... Learn from the good ( cause there is always some good ) and the bad bits to improve your future

wise words elantan.

Seconded!

Spent most of today photographing stuff for eBay & uploading it all. Eyes going a bit, but glad its all done.

2 buyers hadn't aid since Sunday, but one has just coughed up and the other sent me a message saying she'd pay today, so fingers crossed.

Nice to get into some discussions, there is so much energy and knowledge on these boards. :-)

Well done on ebay. :Tgood luck with the sales. I'm still waiting for 6 payments from ebay sales-got 50 listings up atm.
totally agree with comment on discussions and the energy and knowledge.
When I look at the mortgage totals some DFW/MFW's have, it makes mine look like small-fry

I remember being in the first (or maybe it was the second?) MFi3 challenge. By the end, as a group, we had paid some totally mind blowing amount of cash off. I can't remember the number, but I am still inspired every time I think about it. Feel very grateful to the Gibbons and Dithering Dad for starting it all off.

I joined the challenge Dithering Dad did. I think it was part way through when we joined. We have come a long way since then. If my memory serves me correctly the first target I set was to pay of between 4 and 5 K, for MIFin3 2 my target was £15,750 and for this challenge, my official figure is £25,800-i think, but I'm going to try and get rid of 30Ks worth of mortgage. Anyway, enough of my mad ramblings-I should go and see if I can think of anything to ramble in my own diary-feel free to pop over.

Awesome figures Tattycath!

I accidentally had a very MSE day today.

I went to a friend's house for a coffee after dropping the kids off and eventually left, just in time to pick them up again....

I love that kind of day.

Had a mad spend of £6 in C0sta today, but it was my turn... Then had another £6.30 splurge in post office, sending off to fleabay parcels...
Final spendathon was £100 road tax. However, given that I have recently changed from a huge 4x4, to a tiny little car (the start of my MSE efforts), I almost enjoyed paying it...... Lol!

Another plus was a tardy fleabay buyer coughing up.
