So my aims

1. Try and negotiate a rent "decrease" (rents have gone down in the area) or move somewhere cheaper (would rather not move as we love the house) Rent decrease was a no-no so we're moving!! Lovely house, nice area, saving £175 per month minimum....:T

2. Pay at least £6k off the debt - On going but on track

3. Learn to say "no" more often to people who seem to have money tree's at their disposal. Still on a learning curve with this one.

4. Encourage DH to pass professional exam for the £1k bonus it pays. Study leave is booked, exam is next month and I'm very proud of him for pulling his finger out and getting on with it!

I'm sure there are more but those are the main "must do's".

Oh and the eat choccy one.....considering we now are the proud owners of 4 large tins of sweets!!!

I'm quite pleased with that..

Oh - I just updated then clicked the wrong button.

I'm too tired to write it all again. But there's not been any major changes. Still plodding along as everythings pretty long term really.

I also opened an ISA. For the first time ever I have savings and I thought I should put them to good use.

If anyone's still following this thread :hello: (hi)
