    Its very true what you say. I am keeping now a full record of spending. I have for example got a few newspapers some lunchtimes to read - added up to £4 and once lunchtime I didnt go home and got a Baguette - £3 and so on and all these tiny bits have added up to near £30. I know what needs to be done, I know about budgeting, and bying un-necessary things and so on but it is attitude, and is ones own mental strength.

    But I am back, more determined than ever.

    Many thanks.

    Hope this is a great year for everyone.

    Has been very busy work wise for me which it always is at the turn of the year so not been on here much.

    £20 just paid today towards Capital One bill.

    All the best

    Morning all,

    £20 paid towards JJB Store Card (Lowell Financial). Have been ebaying and made a few small sales but have started a massive splurge of it yesterday and will do more this week so hopefully that will bring some money in. I am hoping I will be able to let that build up a bit and make a decent chunk payment off one of the debts.

    Have a good week (to anyone reading the thread).

    Now that's what I need to do. Get back to listing on ebay, I stopped during December and can't get motivated to start again. I think I'll use you Hobsch as my inspiration...
