TBH nats I think I am
Anyway two of my babies birthdays and lots else happened so on ly dented my debt by a smidge but I am ready to start chipping lumps of it now;)
Mr OBNW has a redundancy date of end Sept and will get a pay off that will enable our debt to vanish minus the mortgage so if I can persuade him to use the monies for that and re do the mortgage we should cope ok !!!
Anyway thats the plan.

Hi OBNW
Glad to hear all birthdays done and to still smidgely dent debt is an achievement in my eyes!!
Sorry to hear about redundancy date - but if the pay off helps to clear some debt - then that would be an amazing thing to be able to do.
Good to hear you're ok!!

Hi OBNW!!!
At least the confirmed date for Mr. OBNW is a way away... it will give you a chance to work out what is best to do with the money and also look for a new job for him!!
Fingers-crossed everything works out ok!

Sounds promising, OB. :T :TI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

I'm still alive:j
Hi folks sorry I have been so busy at work but I'm slowly getting back on top of it (only to be jetting back to Texas next Saturday!)
Any way I am very slowly chipping away at this debt, OH officially left his old employer end of May and is with his TUP'd employer now for a few months:rolleyes: I'm trying to keep everything together so that we can get things sorted. Another heavy month this month DD2's car needs fixing (it's dangerous and she is a student who needs it) my car needs an MOT, DD1's birthday and so on......
On a brighter note I did Race for Life in London on Sunday in the sunshine wearing a pink tutu, it was great and apologies to all those now in therapy that witnessed my outfit
I'll try and be more regular on here I promise LBM- finally kicked in 16/12/08 @ [strike]£41,862 [/strike] £0.00/ DFD- 24/12/13
