    Debt-free and Proud!
    Declaring 2/18 early, just so I don't reach out for a strong drink before bedtime. Today has been very busy and a little stressful, so I have to admit to craving alcohol quite badly right now.

    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500
  • Just realised that although I logged on earlier I didn't post my AFDs! DOH!:o
    2/21 for me tonight. :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!
    LBM - December 2012 Time in debt - 30 years and 2 months! DFD - May 2015
    Credit Cards - 5 (£38,000) Personal Loan - 1 (£8,352)

  • Hello everyone. I've been missing in action the last few days due to getting engaged to the beautiful Skint Mum! If you want to be a bit nosey and see the ring you can look here

    This was on Friday and although I did set a target of 30 AFDs this month, I need to tell you that I failed! Skint Mum and I shared a bottle of wine on the evening of our engagement. Can you forgive me? :)

    Anyway aside from that I am still declaring 3/30 AFDs up till today and I am determined to not have a drop for the remained of November.

    Of course we can forgive you! What a lovely story and many congratulations to you and the future Mrs (not so) Skint!

    And :T on getting back on the wagon afterwards.

    Congratulations SkintDad!! Here's to a lovely MSE wedding - we can all follow your preparations with interest and I look forward to hearing how it all goes!
    As Maman says, bravo on getting back on that wagon once you'd celebrated - that's the difficult thing! Congrats again...

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Off the mark last night with my first AFD for November so that is 1/12.
