So far today I have applied for a new 0% balance transfer, halved our sky package, cancelled our tesco dvd rental, cancelled my magazine subscription and started a spending diary. I'm feeling all fired up and enthusiastic now.
Congrats.
It may look like a small start, but it would probably take me next 3 years to achieve that, and thats with a good wind behind me.Hello i'm BrickingIt

Did you cancel the other card though;) Seriously I would and cut it up into small pieces. Otherwise when times get tough temptation is always there. Good Luck.

Well done - what a great start! I'm thinking of getting rid of DVD rental too - it's the only treat I give myself but end up watching films on my own most of the time as OH doesn't like my horrors!
