Haven't seen you on here for a while.
Hey, I'm here. Keep reading the posts, but not always posting myself as not much to say...Think I'm having bit of a plateau period with my debts, not much I can do differently. But there is light at the end (or middle) of the tunnel. I'm supposed to go up a spinal point come the next financial year, probably not much, but every little helps
. Also got a bit more extra back pay, so that should put the wages up a tiny little bit. Changed my AA cover as well and will save £12.42 a month on that and car insurance is to be renewed and hoping to save another tenner a month from that. So little baby steps to get more money,but it will all help. Holiday plans are progressing and probably going to Sicily in June. Haven't had a proper holiday abroad since '05 so I think I kind of deserve it. Getting so excited. Hope everyone is well, some good debt busting going on. And, CAFC - Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Happy Paddy's Day everyone!
Sounds like you have a few bits of money that will make the difference Tirlittan. It's all the little bits of money that soon add up. Sicily sounds gorgeous. I haven't anything booked yet but will be going to Southern Spain for a friend's wedding in Sept. Hopefully we will have a holiday in Spain after the wedding!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947
