    Sounds lovely CAFC - I think you deserve to have a break away, you have been working so hard, think everyone would go mad without a bit of a break.

    We are off to Lithuania for my brothers wedding, if he wasn't getting married then we wouldn't be having a holiday abroad. I'm actually quite scared of flying, never been scared before but now I've got kids I worry more, good thing is that my mum, dad and my Uncle will be on the same flight so the kids won't get bored and I learnt today that a friend of my brothers who he has known for years (met her once before) will be on the flight too with her husband and children.

    thanks hun...

    have just been working on a bit of a plan tonight to decrease our monthly payments but lengthen the term, just to make sure we have a life outside of paying off debts, and then work at building up a bit of a savings stash to either use in the house or to make large chunk overpayments...

    It just seems like we're always on the line.... and its so stressful!!!!

    CMD - I assume your flat move went okay then too?

    Yes SavingH,

    Flat move went grand thanks. Very stressful but we got there in the end. Can now concentrate on paying back my debts!

    TooMuch - Lithuania sounds brill, I like going to unusual places. Get there before the rest of the tourists ruin it I say!

    you are all doing really well and have been an inspiration for me. myself and my DH have some debts too (overdrafts, a car loan, and DH's credit card) and really need to pay them off by christmas. we've paid off a fair bit this year already and would love to tag along on here with you guys as have got about £14k to pay off.

    could you accept one more into your fold???
