Just want to say don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes along the way (myself included) and just see it as a lesson to make sure you don't do it again!

Not all of us make mistakes! Some of us are just perfect :A

:rotfl:

I like to be perfect.... That's where the problems come in!!! I've just read something on another thread that has sort of stopped me in my tracks....

this situation is not going to last forever, it's just a small chapter of my life.

Only for some of us! Others of us happen to have got this huge self inflicted injury called mortgagius skinticus and this means that we will be on this site for the long haul. I reckon for about the next 20-30 years for me personally if my current situation continues.

But you'll have a lovely house at the end of it!!!

I still have to save for a deposit... Could be the next 50 years!!! OMG....

:eek: I dont think the debt thing ever truly ends does it? Does that sound defeatist? I think you just get to a point where you are comfortable with your outgoings. I really cant wait till I am attacking my mortgage and watching my outgoings constantly falling each month.

Actually being honest I think in a few years I will sell my flat, hopefully making a good bit of profit and then I am going to !!!!!! off somewhere much cheaper than Hertfordshire.

Sounds like a plan.

Well I have just change the account my Amazon money gets paid into, so that's going to be a little extra of my Lloyds OD next month, currently have £22.42 sat there waiting for me.

My other OD doesn't earn interest, so it can wait until Lloyds have been go rid of!

We will all get there in the end. I think most of the posters on here are probably more hard core that any of us would like to admit.

Whilst we all have our own little treats whether its spending an extra 5 quid on the weekly food shop or having basic sky etc, all of us go without an awful lot of stuff and make huge changes to our lives to get us where we want to be. So I have every faith that everyone who uses this board on a regular basis will get there..... go team DFW!

I agree totally.

I've been losing loads of weight (intentionally) and I think I need to treat this the same. It's not a quick fix, it's a way of life and one I will probably have to follow one way or another my whole life.

Oh and I'm NOT going to Sainsbury's!!

:T I am glad you are resisting the lure of the evil supermarket.

I think being good with money is like being good with food. To be healthy and sane you need to eat the right stuff and not too much of it, where as money you can spend some of it -just not too much
