Morning all,
Firstly, im back at work full time. It's not that great because for me it doesn't mean lots of extra pennies as i will be losing my housing/council tax benefit etc so wont be much better off once i've paid this out. But it does mean i can work overtime, which will be extra pennies towards my debts.
My Egg card balance transfer has gone through, so now Egg balance is £0! First time any of my cards have shown that, sadly it wont be for long as i will be transfering it back next month as it is my anniversary. But it will mean that the debt there is interest free for 5 months.
And, i got my capital one statement and i made 2 payments in Dec which i hadn't realised i done! So thats a little bit more chipped away from the 23k i owe!

Well done GM - nice feeling when you start chipping away isn't it? You'd better update your signature!!!0 -
It must be hard going back to work full time when you know you won't be that much better off money-wise, but like you said you can boost your income with overtime. I wish you all the best xMortgage-free wannabe!0
