  • Debt is getting me down today. But tomorrow im 10 months gamble free and i guess i just need to focus on that.

    Think about the feeling you had when you got under £9k. You are doing really well.

    Have you got anything visual for your debts? Something you can colour in or cross off as it goes down?

    And woohoo for not gambling.

    Yes thats true! Getting things listed on Ebay is distracting atm and its getting towards bed time im shattered!

    I have a spread sheet but maybe i do need something colourful. Im dyslexic so im very visual in my working methods!
