Hello Dear Reader,

I’ve been to the slimming club tonight and I’m as inspired by the honesty of why people are not losing weight as I am with the weight loss. To be honest, I’m quite good at sticking to something and allowing myself the odd bit of cheese or a sweet as a small treat and when I’m focused I am totally ‘on it’! I learned that from paying off debt, I took it head on and mustered up all my discipline every day and totally stuck at it. Now, I’m comfortable, I can make measured and budgeted purchases. (I bought DB a new bike at the weekend and I just loved being able to do that as I’d saved the money to get it for him.)

In the main, I know I’m preaching to the choir but I’m always aware that you dear reader, may have searched online for help or advice about tackling debt and some how you arrived here. I don’t just write here but write for other websites too.

Take a look here at - Three simple steps to tackle debt.

as we’ve got one coming up this weekend, take a look at Bank Holidays Don’t Mean a Trip to the Bank

and as everyone needs to look at their budget every now and then Take time to budget

And!!!! As there’s a school half term break next week think about how you can stretch the fun without stretching the budget

School holiday part 1.

School holiday part 2.

Finally, think about how you keep a rein on the purse string and are literally The Chancellor of your own exchequer.

I hope you find any of this useful. You can leave a comment here and let me know if you don’t want it published. You can use the contact details above to get in touch with me. I know some of you are waiting to hear back and I will take time in my half term to answer in more detail.

I always love hearing from you and feel free to get in touch.

Happy reading and I’ll be back tomorrow,

Oh…..the slimming club? I lost another 1.5lbs so 9lbs down in total. I hope to be a stone (14lbs) lighter by the end of June. Like paying down debt or controlling a budget, I know it can be done and I also know that it takes time and I have to stick at it.

Love Froogs xxxxx
