    Amazing news!! Well done you..

    I have officially done a little celebratory dance..with a glass in my hand :beer: in your honour. Brilliant news and well done for recognising such great progress too :T

    Maybe a small treat to say well done at the weekend? Doesn't even have to be one that costs, but do think you should formally mark this milestone

    Have a great weekend

    Thanks for the encouragement Breeze Hill and brizzledfw. I like the idea of a treat brizzled and intend having a couple of beers, with some fish and chips tonight to celebrate. :beer:

    Not exactly pushing the boat out I know but I've not had my fish and chips treat since I started debt busting, can't say the same for the beer I'm afraid :rotfl:

    Milestones seem to be what works for me, so my next target is to reach a £1000 saved and reduce the CC debt to £3,500 (1/3 of my starting debt) :T

    Have a great weekend folks and thanks again for the encouragement.
  • Hi all

    I had a great week working outdoors, which was really nice as the office would have been stifling. The added bonus was as I was away with work, all meals were paid for :T Although I did go to the pub with my colleagues, so not a completely no spend week but worth it :beer: I'm away again next week doing the same, so will try to keep the pub spend down, enjoy the free food and soak up some rays :cool:

    Have a great weekend one and all :D
  • Sounds fantastic!! Enjoy! :beer::beer:

    Not exactly a NSD as I bought a couple of cases of wine for my parents for their wedding anniversary. Obviously being a lush runs in the family. However a quick check on MSE and I bagged 50% off, free delivery and even some clubcard points from Mr T, so can't complain too much :-)

    Bargain! Lushness in evidence in the Fortunate household too.
