Well done, you have achieved so much!  Hopefully 2022 will see you continue to thrive.

Fabulous achievements in what's been, at times, a very trying year for you.

Excellent foundations in place for what I truly hope will be an amazing 2022 for you xx

So many fantastic achievements during a difficult year. Your diary screams of positivity and great plans as your growth continues. 
Slowly step into 2022 and everything will fall into its natural place.

Just one of those achievements is momentous - the balance reduction on the credit card, the publishing of your book are both huge achievements. You have come through so much in 2021 and been an inspiration to myself and others and such an encourager to other diary writers. That encouragement is so appreciated.

Wishing  you every blessing for 2022.

@hone@Honeysucklelou2 has said it beautifully so I'll just say that I second everything that's been said, and wish you everything you wish yourself for 2022.  Loads of ((((hugs)))) XXX

Agreed that's a great list and a great foundation for 2022.  Don't waste too much energy on making reparations with the in-laws if they don't want to know then soddemall.  

Good news about the job and various increases - backdated salary is basically free money so clear some and spend some would be a good balance especially if you spend it to support some of your personal goals

 Lots of achievements.  One suggestion - just celebrate them 🥳  There will always be more to be done...  I think when you say 'but need to do more' it takes a little away from how fabulously you've done this year.  Look at that amazing progress - including navigating one of life's most stressful situations.

Congratulations - what you've achieved is fantastic and more than enough 😘

Very wise - thank you. Thanks too to Jwil, MF, Beanie, skint_spice, Chrystal, HSL, Hettyhound, Mark, Dancing

We should all apply this - we are more than enough

I think as others have said in their diaries - It's not until you stop and look back - or read others experiences - that you realise what you've achieved and appreciate the effort things it took. Another £38 came off debt today and added with yesterday's that puts me at £1815. I couldn't leave that £15 hanging there - so have rounded it off to finish the year on £1800.

I feel a lot freer and it shows. The load I was carrying - in terms of others needs and expectations has reduced / been rejected. For that too I am grateful.

I really appreciate all of your encouragement too. You really are my cheer squad and it matters.

I agree Mark - I made an effort pre-divorce but it's been made repeatedly clear via Ex and my DCs that MIL and others don't want to know.

When I get the backdated £ I plan to use it mostly to fill my holiday pot.

It does make it difficult though when there are children involved, but more so when the children are younger of coourse.
