    Hi there

    Very well done on your journey so far. You're doing great.

    My problem is I go in fits and waves with this money saving malarky. When I'm in the zone nothing will make me deviate BUT, and this is the dangerous bit, I sometimes get BORED!! That inevitably leads to two steps forward and one step back.

    I so hope you keep the focus. This website has been the most liberating website EVER.

    Cheers


    That is my character trait down to a tee. My ideal is to have no blips but I am sure there will be some. I also need to stop taking my debit card to work for mindless shopping online.

    Oh and I agree - this site is amazing.

  • Hi Miia

    Just found your post. Im a relative newbie on here too so not sure I can really offer too much in the way of advice. One thing I can tell you that really worked for us was to write a list of everything we had in our cupboards/fridge/freezer. Right down to the very last cheese slice!!!

    It initially made me feel really bad as I didnt even realise we had half of the food. Before I went shopping I looked at what we had and devised some meals using the ingrediants. Really worked for us so might be worth a go!

    Just thought I would post to say well done you.:T

    It sounds like you've come a long way already. This getting DF is a real journey and I've learnt so much already and I've only been here since September last year!

    You can and you will achieve it if you keep motivated and focused and of course realise there are up days and down days.

    Good luck Miia:cool:
