Well the weather is changing debt repayments have hit a low. Token payments only, and those blue feelings are back. Must be the weather.

Hey Shinner,
just remember than token payments are better than no payment at all. I think that everything seems a bit more 'Bleugh' when the winter starts to set in.
Maybe plan some free/cheap things that you can do at home to cheer yourself up. Board games with the OH and children, long woodland walks, research some yummy cheap filling stodgy winter foods etc.
Hope that 'Blue' feeling passes soon.0 -

It's hard no matter what time of year when you feel the debt busting has ground to a halt. The nice thing about autumn and winter, is that we tend to spend more time at home which mean less time to spend! (At least it does for me!)
Best thing you can do is try to find a way to make £10 - whether you start some EBay auctions, do some surveys, anything to get a few extra pounds to make an extra payment to something. It will breathe some positivity back into the situation and bring back a some sense of control.
Wish you the very best of luck in your journey.Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -

Well made a start on making money lol. Have managed to earn an extra £6 a week with getting an extra 1/2 hour a week of work. I don't mind either as weather bad so i am better off earning money. A phone call to make tomorrow with the potential of being yet another 1/2 hour extra wages a wk.sealed pot challenge 099
