A small win but a huge one for me personally.

For the first time I felt a sense of achievement in this pain in the behind situation ( totally of my own making). I trashed my phone. Instead of just phoning up and ordering a new contract phone, as I would have done until last year. I purchased a second hand phone that does exactly the same thing for £90. Again I would have previously just shoved a full priced one on a credit card.... this time I managed to cash flow it without affecting my debt pay off or my emergency fund. I am so so pleased. Small win but major for me.
