Some good goals there, SSD23, & they sound achievable too. Good luck with your progress. It's such a fab feeling when 'bad debt' is finally paid off, isn't it? I will never forget how good that felt.
F2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
2) To read 100 books (29/100)

Nice to "see" you foxgloves, I always have a lurk on your diary and read along
Yes, I am counting the days to getting the last credit card paid off, it would be nicer if it was totally debt-free but at least all of the bad stuff will be gone 0 -

Hello world :hello:
Question for any of the more regular subscribers to threads... is there a way to subscribe to a thread many pages long and NOT get all of the "unread posts" count afterwards? I don't mind clicking through a certain amount of pages to get rid of that, but some diaries I'd like to sub to are very long-running
Looking forward to finishing today, 3 day weekend for me as I had to take annual leave for Monday, so won't be back at work until Tuesday once I finish today :j
It would be so easy right now to start splurging on stuff knowing that I am going to be BDF (Bad Debt Free) soon, I have to keep telling myself off, and that it's all about budgeting going forwards, one more tight month and then I can start saving into my pots and working on my expendable income from there
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday x0 -

Sorry I don't think I wrote it clearly :rotfl: I love getting the notifications AFTER I've subbed, it's when you sub and it then comes up with "unread posts" for all of the posts of the thread so far lol 0 -

I know what you mean - it's annoying isn't it? The only way to get rid is to go to the end of the diary each time before go back to your replies and it will automatically track that you've read the whole diary.
If you subsequently go back to the diary and go back to previous posts on previous pages and don't return to the end of the diary before going back to your replies, it will clock that you've not read the future posts! Annoying!
Only way to solve it is to remember to go to the end of the diary each time you read it before you go back to your replies!0 -
