think i've fallen off the wagon a bit

Hi everyone,

Well, I originally started posting in November, when i had my lightbulb moment and took lots of actions then and was really good for a month or so.

However, since xmas I have fallen off the wagon a bit. I haven't made my debts worse, but have lost some momentum for sorting them out.

I've not been very well, and in and out of work with time off sick. I'm in the middle of changing some medication at the moment so hopefully that should help. OH has just come back from 5 months working in Ausralia, which is good.

I guess I'm just looking for a kick up the bum to get me on the right track again! :rolleyes:

I think the next step is to take stock of where i am and see what to do next. Any help and advice would be much appreciated!

I've been keeping a weather eye on the forum but have only been able to access t'interweb at work and have been in and out of there like a yoyo recently, so i'm not really up to date with how everyone is doing. I'm going to have a good look through over the next few days.

Hope all is well with everyone,

Speak soon,

Hi falady...

I've lost count of the times I've fallen off the wagon lol... it's good you've recognised it - it sounds like things are getting better in your home life.. put it behind you and focus on getting rid of your pesky debts! As you say, you've not increased them...

Thanks CA,

That's nice of you, and its encouraging to see i'm not alone.

Its v tempting to go shopping when i'm feeling down, though i know this is the worst thing i an do!

Aww no you're not alone. Due to a new job, I've piled 400 pounds on the lloyds card in two months!

I know how you feel.

I'm the same with the shopping but i will walk out of the shop and spend all night thinking if I actually need it... and if i do.. then i'll go back another day... doesn't always work but at least the thought's there! and shaming myself with all my student related debt in my signature reminds me to stay away from molton brown and faith.... lol

Chin up, reassess the damage and start again, I've buried my head in the sand before and it just eats away at you!

Good luck!
