    Well, I'm feeling a tad more motivated today. Read some diaries on here last night and it's always encouraging to know I'm not the only one taking two steps forward and three steps back sometimes. This debt problem and attitude towards money 'even bigger' problem did not arrive in my life overnight and it will therefore not disappear overnight. It's the long haul, and I'm giving myself no option but to continue the good fight.

    Onwards to another debt busting day. :D

    I know just how you are feeling Ani. Fab cello sale:) I have just sold my daughters first clarinet for £120 which went straight towards paying for the Big School Trip. Just a flute to go now:)

    Hello my lovelies. :) Thanks for the supportive comments, much appreciated. Nope, no luck with the amp yet, nearly had a taker but he pulled it. It's had over 40 views on gumtree so fingers crossed someone buys it soon.

    Igamogam, great price for the clarinet. Go you! Hope the flute goes too.

    Well, it seems there is a god after all. Just got home to find on my doorstep a fat cheque from the inland revenue, tax rebate, more than enough to cover the rest of Cap 1, my extra expenses this month and if I'm sensible a little towards the next credit card to get hit.

    Yeeeyyy!!!!!!!!! :D
