The Mental Debt Struggle...

That is very kind of you to say that @lellybun, thank you very much, and to you too @Sun_Addict and @Makingabobor2.

I'm really happy to see the end of 2023, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year and 2024 if I don't post again before the new year hits 🎉🥳.

Yes. You are still standing & standing tall.

I think you are doing amazingly well.
I love your focus and im sure this will carry through next year and to the end of your debt. How exciting will that be??

Keedie, I hope that summary makes you realise just how amazing you are! Despite EVERYTHING you have had thrown at you this year you have still wiped over £6k from your debts. You're a blummin' inspiration!

Have a wonderful new year

You're all too kind to me 🥰, but I secretly love it! 💃🏽😂

I re-read my end of year summary objectivel as if it was someone else, and I realised that you're all right, I have achieved a lot. I need to be kinder to myself and my assessment of capabilities and achievements moving forward. If it was someone else, I would be really excited for them, but as it's for me, I guess I tend to downplay things. But I will definitely try to catch myself when I do that, and please don't be afraid to remind me if I forget.

My last PAD of the year today, with £0.50 into my 50p challenge tin. I've got one for 50p and £2 coins, and I've wiped the trackers clean so that I will use them again from scratch from tomorrow and see what I save in the 2024. I usually store those coins in a tin and then put them towards a holiday.

Someone in my neighbourhood is getting very excited with their firework display and I have a front row seat (well front row recline as I'm lying down in my bed) and I can see the pretty fireworks. My family are coming over around 9 for New Year's Eve. I've still got some tidying up to do, but my son said we can tackle it together from 6-7pm and then I can rest again before everyone comes. So we'll be busy for an hour and then chill.

Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you have a good evening/night 🎉🥳.

VERY well done on everything you’ve achieved this year Keedie. Also great credit to your son who seems to have turned things around too, with much help for your unerring support.

Enjoy this evening and keep remembering or at least trying to remember not to overdo it

Happy new year Keedie, and here's to 2024: onwards and upwards!

I thought you’d gone to bed early there 🤣 Happy New Year, hope 2024 is good to you 🙂

Morning Keedie, I have just caught up with your diary, impressive work for DS and his exams, I hope these ones go fabulously.You have made such an effort to get him what he needed, amazing parenting! I always find your diary so inspirational, nothing stops you and it is truly impressive to read! What a year debt wise, you have made such massive progress. I also love how you adapt your budget and change it around it make it work better, this feels like a great skill to have, it isn't set in stone! May 2024 be an easier year for you, and you will smash these goals I have no doubt!
