You know what I have been unproductive and stupid all because I was swayed by a person whom I much admire as a journalist and broadcaster. But it took the common sense and honesty of a nobody (sorry SharonRose) to make me see sense and get back in the saddle so to speak.
The lovely SharonRose has a great, in fact two great blogs and it was her new blog $haronRose - $pending, $aving, Me that inspired me to rethink and make the effort to do something about my debt again.
Originally I was inspired by Make Do & Mend a book by Kate Battrick and of the blog Make Do & Mend she really got me in the budget mindset and I started the year quite well but then felt I was being a self indulgent t**t and stopped obsessing about my attempt not to spend. So things have gone slightly down hill but I feel it is even more important to get back on track.
I've managed to reduce my credit card debt to £2756 and my overdraft is at £600 but I need to make more effort to be debt free. I'm so easily beguiled by new clothes and the excitement of a new look I find it hard to resist a purchase. So here's hoping blogging will give me the extra stress to fess up to bad thoughts or deeds

You go for it. Thank you for kind comment about my self published number - it could do with improving but keep budgeting and resisting temptation!!x
Congratulations on your efforts so far!! The blogging did go by the wayside, but you've obviously been plugging away at the debt and from what I can gather from reading your posts, you've nearly halved your credit card debt-that is a massive achievement, very well done!! I'm soo pleased you've decided to blog again-do it for yourself and don't be swayed too much by others opinions. Only stop if you ever feel its not right for you anymore-once again, well done!!
