My debtfree diary

Hi everyone,
Well I've tried to get out of debt several times, so I'm hoping this diary will prove the extra motivation I need to stop living beyond my means and finally pay down my credit card debts.
Barclaycard: £1,769
JL Partnership: £1,797
Lloyds: £1,187
I'm getting married at the end of next year, and really want to be debt free. So not only do I need to clear outstanding debts, I need to make sure I'm not spending anymore on my credit cards.
Its a change in lifestyle for me more than anything...instead of seeing something I want to buy and just going for it. I need to see something I want to buy, first of all think do I really need it, and then if I do start to save up to buy it...
Anyway, I'll track my progress here :T
