yeah i am really pleased. of course it was only possible cos DH had that month's work. as much as i am pleased we've managed it this month i know we wouldn't be able to do it again unless DH gets a full time job but it has made great inroads to our debts. he was asked if he would stay for another month but he said no cos he really isn't enjoying being away from DD and me. tbh we're not enjoying it either but the money has really helped this month. we can manage without another month really.

It's a brilliant amount to have paid off though. Do you have much left to go or was that just a dent?

my o/d, car loan and DH c/c so a little under £10k but the fact we're down to 3 debts now feels like we're nearly there

That's great. We are also down to 3 debts (although bigger than yours). 2 credit cards and a loan. Feels good though. I can't wait til we just have one credit card left. Or even better, 0 credit cards!

we're planning to have my o/d paid off by november (sooner hopefully) then over pay our car loan then put some money away for both a deposit on a house and to offer c/c a f&f as we can't overpay that cos DH is on some kind of dmp with them

I know I wont get round to cleaning the oven its my least favourite job. Maybe I should check out OS maybe they'll have a cunning easy way to do?!

I defuzzed after the dodgy conversation I felt hyperaware of my hairyness :eek:

starnac

take a deep breath and go clean the oven. you'll feel loads better once it's done

Sorry too busy sitting on balcony with glass of wine! Plus the oven will have to go on soon to cook dinner and I'm sure theres an official waiting period needed after cleaning :rotfl:
