I am desperate to change my ways.
I have always been a spender not a saver but for various reasons now I really really want to stick to my monthly budget and not overspend.
It might also tie in with me being able to stop work for a few years - so I really want to make it work. Does anyone have any suggestions for books I could buy/ blogs/ websites to keep me on the straight and narrow? I really want to get a thrill from scrimping. I am hoping it's possible!

I particularly like the Old Style MoneySaving board/forum but the Debt Free wannabee board is good too.
You could post a Statement of Affairs here which is a list of all your regular outgoings against your income and posters give their feedback - harsh but fair...
Obvious areas to consider - remortgaging if you are on your lender's SVR, look at utilities then grocery shopping etc.
Debts? pay off quicker/move to 0% credit card.
If you explain what your situation is maybe you can connect with someone either in the same situation or who has surmounted the same problems?

Thanks for your response.
I will build up the courage to post my ins/ outs on here.
I will also keep looking at these boards for inspiration.

Alvin changed me, love him!.

Frugal Queen. She has been quite an inspiration to me. About 8 years ago she was £40,000 in debt, she has cut down to the bare bones and she is now debt free, owns a second home in France and planning early retirement. She is a teacher so I feel I can relate to her as she earns an average wage. Whenever I have overspend I spend half an hour reading her blog to get me focused again.
