Hello *waves*

Just joined up today after reading the debt free wannabe forums for a while now which I have been taking up some great advice and wanted to say thank you.

When I get in a bit of a rut stressing about money and getting annoyed with myself for the amount of repayments to debt myself and my husband have to pay out each month, I come on here ( my husband doesn't like me going on and on and to be honest I dont like myself going on and on) coming on here helps and I know it's not just me.

Anyway just wanted to join this great community and say hello :)

    Hia nd welcome too.


    I know my hubby find my chatter about debts and repayments boring.


    Even when I am doing really well and seeing the figures coming down he does not appreciate how satisfying it is. I think you have to be involved with the details to appreciate that sort of thing.

  • Thanks everybody

    7roland8 your so right, I think that's definitely why I gravitated to reading these forums. Don't get me wrong my hubby is all for clearing debt but probably not as much as I am, feels like it's me doing all the offer searching, price cutting, calculating ingoing and outgoings that sort of thing and sometimes you want guidance or an independent pat on the back to spare you on.

    I found an asda receipt left in a trolley which I price checked and there was £4.25 I was so chuffed with the find but feel like if i tell certain people they just don't get it! So glad I could share that one with you all! Haha

    I could have written that myself Good Chi. My husband is just not a money guy. He is happy I care as much as I do but I can see him glazing over at times. Glad I have you guys :) nice to meet you.
