congratulations!!!
my engagement and wedding were fantastic times for us both although the latter resulted in a lot of the debt that i'm now trying to pay off! it can be done cheaper if you're sensible about it!!! enjoy showing off your engagement ring though, it is so so so much fun

I know I'm a bit late, but can I join too please?
I'm going for £10k I think, which means that hopefully by this time next year we'll be virtually debt-free!! :T

I remember when I got engaged and I spent ages practising my new signature.......not quite the same now though, with chip and pin you don't have that same need for signing cheques and debit card "chits" like we used to, so not so much need for that excited feeling as you sign your new name

I've made a usual payment towards my car this morning, so another £93.33 paid. Have also had a look at the bingo scratchcard sites and have made 30p over the past two days. But i'm not counting this until i actually pay it off something. My ebay things aren't doing too well which i thought they would as i'd put them on as christmas stocking filler types? oh well, we'll see there is still a couple of days left on them.

i hope everyone else is doing well

Hi everyone

Just checking in. Congrats too Jenny!

Have now paid £875 this month towards my 20k so I'm well pleased so far. Plus the mortgage payment has gone down by £242 per month in the last 3 months thanks to interest cuts so I'm a happy(ish) bunny. (As much as one can be with gazillions of the dreaded debts....)

But hey we're working on it, and hard at that!
