    No debt busting been happening this weekend, but been at work most of it so also havent added to the debt or spent a single penny.

    5 days until pay day and serious debt head again!!

    starting to think I need a more realistic goal, like no family debt by christmas..

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Keep going - you won't hit 50% if you backslide! I'm a long way from being at the 50% mark but it is lovely to read about someone who is actively getting there. Sitting here cheering for you! :T Bravo on paying off/down everything in your signature. I bet that has felt so so good. And well done for walking away from a new car!
    Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!

    How strange, I was just reading your diary then realised you had commented on mine! I am starting to get my determination back again, you sound liek you are determined too!

    Having it in the signature and seeing it going down really does help! I think speaking to people on here and reading their story helps too. Find that if I don't come on here for a week or so I go absolutely spending crazy hahaha.

    Best of luck, we can both do it! x
