I'll get there....eventually!

Just a little DFW plan of action made today....I increased my OD weekly standing order by a whole £1 a week! (Now now....calm down! lol)

I know it won't make a massive difference but I'm trying to break myself gently in to paying out more and still living within my means....it might take a while but we'll get there! #longhardslog
Debt as of Sept' 2015 (LBM!): £36,351 :eek: (sickening)
Monthly outgoings on debt alone: £1243/month

We're on the right path, we got ourselves here..we're a bit lost, but we'll find our way back again!

    Excellent! ...no, really! Another pound paid is another pound less debt.

    The most important thing to do before paying off your debts is to have a stable and workable budget, which now presumably have.

    After that, starting to pay off debts, even if only £1a week or increasint it by £1 a week is small positive steps... “ Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey”.

    Ater all , you probably didn't amass all your debt overnight so keep making small positive steps :)
