    Sixth Anniversary
    We all need a little bit of what we fancy now and again!

    I hope my debt reductions can read as well as you in 6 months time! :T
    Just one figure from now on - Total Debt as at 27.8.18 - £44,061.26.

    Target to be under £40k by 31.12.18.

    August already 7 months debt busting , it has gone fast. Had a desire for clothes shopping yesterday. I need a couple of new cardigans for work, the aircon at work makes you freeze. Anyway proud to say didn't buy anything as couldn't find what I was looking for in shops. However popped into a charity shop and came out with 2 cardigans one new with tags on for £9.50 for both bargain . Will definitely look in charity shop again.
    NSD today , thats about it .
