Had £7 left from food budget this month and instead of putting it towards paying debts I spent it on a bottle of wine and fish and chips last night:mad:

That would only buy fish and chips down souf :rotfl:

Very well thank you. This is like when I first had my lbm in the days when you,Smiley and Joek were a formidable trio.

Nice to see you 2 on here at the same time :T

Seems like only yesterday doesn't it!!

Can't believe its been over a year, and look how far we've come.

You even have medals now!!:T :T

Ha, ha - it would buy a meal for two at a posh restaurant in bonnie Scotland (I wish!).

I know completely what you mean teecee, life is much moe predictable on the DMP as we pay the same amount each month, so I find myself slipping back into old habits, buying clothes, spending lots of presents, buying nice food at Fresco (sorry - been watching Corrie!). I took lots of stuff back to the shops yesterday as I had a reality check and was shocked to realise it came to almost half mony monthly DMP payment!! I used to be in the £2 savers club etc, but it's all stopped. I need to be much more penny pinching and I think having a target of saving for a F&F is a good one, which is why I'd added a savings bit to my signature

And well deserved medals too - you've been so supportive of not just us, but so many others. I remember so well when you joined this group YM, it was a great feeling for me to be able to give advice to someone else, made me feel like I'd come so far in my own battle.

I wonder how Joek is getting on teecee. Hope he's still on the wagon. I'll never forget one night we were all chatting on here, I had tears running down my face and it was during the worst time of getting things up and running and getting creditor calls. It was such light relief!

I don't know what i would have done without you two in the early days, like you, no-one knew about my debts and it was such a relief to find somewhere that I could talk about it, have a laugh and feel almost normal for a while. I hope Joek is well and sorting out his troubles. Maybe he still lurks around (he was always good at that:rotfl: ) and who knows maybe one day we will hear from him and the unholy trio will be resurrected.

LOL!! We might have to lead YM astray to fill the missing space on the round table... poor man!

Advice was more than welcome. Thank you.
