diary. A whole year of no debts and no
mortgage 😁 We
are semi-retired, using our private pensions to cover the cost of bread and

The Sea is Calling
Hello there fellow wannabes! Starting a brand new diary for my lofty ambitions. It's me, my husband, our cat (plus an extra one who eats his food and sneaks in to sleep in our house but won't let us go near her) and we live in a Victorian terrace of an East Mids town. We are bookish and musical, and very social peeps, and…

I shared the story of how I got into debt at the age of 19 & stayed that way until a pretty enormous lightbulb pinged on during my early 40s, I've shared…

Odd credit card activity...!
Hello, I've not been on this site for a while, a bit busy. Suddenly I find I'm swamped with issues. An odd email alerts me to a CC debt, though I've never had the particular card. There has been no posted communication, no phone calls or letters, bills etc. In other words, they only have this email address. No other…
