Morning fellow bears

Welcome back Selene x0 -
You know this thread has sooooo helped my head! My recent whoopsies make sense! No one is saving right now
I thought I stopped the whoopsies - till about 2pm yesterday when I changed what I bought - more whoopsies!!!
Got a savings target thought :P
And after ML on radio 2 about debt and mental health I am finding more and more folk with MH probs who can't budget. I have an eclectic group of fellow sufferers and so many of them can't budget
I learnt via shifting and paying off my debt. I fell in love with spreadsheets LOL - it took years but I never gave up (even after a £1k whoopsie one march)
Go welly boots and marmalade sandwichs for breakfast LOL
E:dance:
I believe in the power of PAD
