Well you'll have guessed from the title this is not the first LBM or diary I have had but by jingo it WILL be my last. In short every Time I have had a LBM the total debt has gone up - my last diary was about 18 months ago debt was a shocking £37k managed to get it down by about £5k in 5 months. Thought to myself I've got this debt busting malarky sussed stopped posting in my diary=eye off the ball = debt zooming up to a horrific £44k :eek:
now got it down to £38k but need to keep pushing I want to spend my money on me instead of paying off these blasted cards, also OH and I have dream of buying wee place abroad - will never happen whilst I have this millstone around our necks.
So time to pull on the big girl pants, rip up the takeaway menus and get control of the grocery shopping they are our biggest area of wasted money - and get shot of this debt as quickly as I can
