    okay, I paid off a bit from the creidt card... but it's hard to make a start until we've moved house and bought all of the stuff we need (sofa / dining table & chairs etc).

    Once that happens, I can make a real go at it.
    Credit card - down a little bit - £500.00
    Barclays - still owe back my interest free buffer - £241.00
    Mum & Dad - still owe them - £1,125.00

    That is cool,

    My DW and I will be sitting down tonight to replan our debt diary.

    We have had some big changes, I came off an IVA, and cleared of my credit file in May 2008. Buying a house and getting married has increased out debt a fair bit... but we had a plan to clear it all in 2 years.. :)

    Then we had the great news that my DW is pregnant... so a little panic about debts. but all should be ok I hope. I migh have to set up my own diary on here I think :)
    Frustrated in Shropshire....
