  • I have decided I am going to treat this more like a diary than I have been, including keeping a record of all plans & how I am going to finance them.

    Might make me change my mind about somethings seeing it all written down in black & white.

    Hi there Dolly Rocker :wave:

    I just read your diary and wanted to say congratulations. You're doing so well, and it's so hard to take charge of your debt and make some headway in bashing it down but you're doing it, and your diary makes some truly inspiring reading.

    I've subscribed. :)

    Tell me about it!

    I'm determined that none of this will be put on CC's as I would have in the past!

    Can't wait for a quiet January :p

    Aw thanks.

    You're welcome. :)

    I think we're in a similar position. Me and OH are saving for a wedding and a house deposit, at the same time as paying off debt, and having holidays and a bit of a life too. It's a lot to juggle at once, but I'm convinced we can all do it. I'm in this for the long haul, managing my cash better and learning not to be wasteful and how to get good deals on things. And I'm very much looking forward to the day we own our own home. Exciting stuff!

    Good luck with getting very paid off. You're almost one debt down...brilliant!

  • It definitely is a lot too juggle.

    I'm learning everyday how to be better at it.

  • Hope your weekend is going well. I've not left home today but I know you are more sociable than me so hope the spending is going well.

    I did smile when I read your note about spending the hotel money your friend gave you. This is so me!

    thank you so much for your support. Its really valuable right now and makes such a difference. I hope you get to the other side and get your house and ditch the very. Looking forward to your updates. xx
