I'm sure there was "someone" on the original Unnecessary Spend Challenge who bought new pants.... who could it have been then?!
I may have to search for the thread to find out.... if Hypno thinks t'was not her.....:rolleyes:Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

OK enough belly aching and reminiscing...
I'm back, Im married, I'm still in debt..... I'm actually in more debt now than I ever have been, however most of it is OH's....:rolleyes: But I'm trying to help him out as much as possible
Slight situation at the moment is that OH is unemployed, although 2 interviews today so hopefully something will come up.
So just my measley wage at the moment, however he will get a wage packet end of this month, but we need to make sure he has something come in at end of August otherwise we are up the creek....
So my income £1143
OH's income for end of july, should be around £700
Outgoings
Rent £650 (tied till end of january)
CT £110
Utilities £20 (only electric, water included in our rent)
BT £35 for line rental and connection when we moved in
Sky £26 a month, includes sky, bband and phone calls
Mobiles £35 combined
Food £160- £200, trying to get better with this
And then there is car stuff which OH knows all about because I dont drive/concern myself with the car.
Insurance for the year was £381
Car tax £110 (he thinks) due again in January
MOT (new so doesnt need one yet)
Petrol - now down to £30 a month since he isnt driving to work/or anywhere for that matter
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the horrible part now......
Abbey Loan 114.90%£4,417.00£4,142.65
Abbey Loan 219.90%£2,367.00£2,188.16
Car Loan12.30%£5,258.26£4,963.72Mum Loan0.00%£4,500.00£4,500.00Halifax Credit Card19.95%£2,397.69£448.00Abbey MBNA Credit Card2.90%£1,045.50£963.61Abbey Zero Credit Card£2,400.00£2,390.00I.F Credit Card14.90%£980.00£2,193.94
Homebase MBNA Card0.00%£38.50£2,384.00
Now according to the snowball that puts us £24,174 in debt.... god i feel sick
Loans are all fixed at £137.57, £89.42 and £147.29
Rest I've generally been paying over the minimum on and up until OH quit his job, we were on track, paying over £1000 a month to our debts.
Now however it all feels a bit up in the air...
So any advice however basic etc is more than welcome right now as we need to get this together and sorted out...
P.S the end columns on the debts are the current balances...
