    Hi. I found your diary on Friday and have read the whole of it over the weekend. You are really inspirational:)
    We have been in a DMP since 2008 and still have a long way to go. We've just plodded along with it though when in hindsight we should have made a huge effort to reduce our debt as you are doing.
    I've now subscribed to your diary in the hope that your motivation in both paying off your debts and weightloss will motivate me to do the same.

    Congratulations MiT - your confidence is shining through :beer:
    ....and I love your comment on your 'employed mindset' :) We wouldn't be that way if they didn't make us that way would we?

    You are your own boss so give yourself a top rating when you review comes round :)

  • happy dance from me 3lbs off again tonight :j:j. Nearly half way to my target. Who would have thought it when I started in November ? Certainly not me.

    Bless your wee cotton socks hadalbm for reading all my [STRIKE]drivel[/STRIKE] well thought out and informative posts ;). I'm on a roll just now so hopefully it'll keep going and I get out of this mess once and for all.

    HA HA @ Verbatim. You appear to have got a wee bit lost in diary land last night. I swear if dress doesn't fit by next week I will be looking for the biggest suck me in knickers I can get that will go right up to my boobs lol (broggers hide your eyes)

    Brogden you are so right on the employer comments. I used to be engaged and keen but it has all been squished out of me so I will use my keenness and engagement skills for myself now :D

    I'm still very excited and my first client wants me to start this week :eek:. I will try my best to put all the money away and use it to buy what I need to take this forward. My friend is lending me one machine until I have the cash to buy my own but there's another one that I need before that so will save up for that first of all. I'm going to go and price them up just now. Not getting a chance to catch up on diaries just now but I promise I will soon xx
