    Just started to read your thread and wanted to say how well you are doing .The way you are going you could be debt free by even sooner than 2011.
    Just think how you felt on your first day on here and it will give you the motivation to never get in debt again.But beware saving becomes just as addictive as spending lol
    Good luck to you and your family.

    GREAT NEWS!!!!!

    Just paid in £4250 for my car and £15 of change from last years sealed jar.

    So tomorrow I will pay off and close my barclaycard!! Tax credits check will get sent off to clear that overpayment.

    Its sad to see the car go but def feels better knowing we are a step closer to being debt free.

  • Managed to have a chat with ex wife and she has agreed to a £100 drop in maintainance, so thats now dropped to £350.

    Need pay day to come quick as we are very poor at the mo!! However Jan has been a good debt month £7000 paid off debt!!! But things will steady down now but we are chipping away!!

    Next target is the Natwest loan!! we need to save up £3600 at mo but this drops by £100 every month until we pay it off so hopefully we meet somewhere in the middle.
