You do absolutely need to take a break and have a good holiday and if that means delaying your final debt free date then so be it.  It can be easy to find too many excuses to spend in that fashion, but you are doing really well in limiting that, so giving yourself a little slack to build memories and rebuild family relationships

Thank you. I have around £300 for the spending on the kids. We have lots of family scattered around so shouldn't need to spend too much. 

My wife is happy to pay for most things as long as I clear the debt asap

Have caught up on the last few months of your diary. You are doing SO WELL. Seriously. So pleased you're able to speak to people, and every day is a new milestone.

Plus you're making great progress on paying down the cards. Kudos to you!

Thanks for popping in. I appreciate it. 

I haven't been on here a for a while, but aiming for at least a check in every few days.

Well done on no gambling for 5 months. The debt appears to be under control and good your wife is now being more supportive. Life will look very different once the debt is gone. Have a great holiday.

Well today was a very difficult day at work. One of the worst ever in fact. 

Life is short. Make sure you tell those around you how much you love them.

Sorry to hear it has been a rough day.

Life is very short, we had an horrific accident occur in our local village over the weekend and it has absolutely broken me, I didn't know the ppl involved but it has certainly hit home with me just how life can be cut so tragically short. 

You are doing amazing to have remained gamble free - I hope tomorrow is a better day.
