Hey everyone
Another busy day, and another late check in - lovely to see the thread busy again.
I am exhausted, and I suspect that the same thing will happen tonight that happened last night, i.e. I will lie down and feel wide awake until about 1am.crazy_cat_lady wrote: »

Evening all,
It has been a few years since I have been on this site. I came here alot when we first realized our debts had spiralled out of control and got a lot of help and advise.
For a while things improved but we seem to have become complacent and I have decide that enough is enough and that this year we will get back on the wagon to improve our quality of life, finally start to reduce our debts and get some kind of organization.
With that in mind I have found my way back to these forums and it is great to be back! I have been reading these daily posts and find them so motivating so thank you to everyone0 -
Hi all. Can't switch off and go to sleep. Going to suffer tomorrow if I stay awake much longer.
I am trialling a month of cash only spending using the envelope system. I have tried and failed before but I am determined this time. I am setting myself a challenge of cash only because it's just too easy to hand over the debit card.
Right, 10 minutes reading then I must try and sleep!0
