Good morning :j
well today is a good day ive finally got my CHQ off the solicitors today so that is paying our joint debt off (an OD CC and loan) so they will be gone by the end of the month, they are not listed on here as we knew we were getting the money and we had planned to pay it off anyway just had to wait a bit longer than we hoped but glad its here now so we can pay it all off .... i may have some other news too but will have to wait till next week to find out anyhoo, still got more month than money left at the moment but no matter payday will be here soon so will pay thins off then .... still waiting on my ebayer to pay up they said it would be today but not got anything yet so will just wait and see then i can pay my bank charges off that is my plan anyway ... ive made a list of all the cards ill need through the year and am going to get them out of this months pay so i have them in handy for this year so i dont have to buy them everymonth which i thought was a good idea .... well going to get ready for work now have a nice day everyone

My ebay winner STILL has not paid up so looks like im going to have to re list the item so thats more waiting GRRR and my quidco money has not come through again so that will be next month too ... im so sick of waiting i want something to clear so i can pay i off one debt ive been doing this since 4th of Jan and not paid much off !!! im trying and cutting back on everything but GRRRR i dunno lets look at some positives ...... ok
* £14 odd in a survay account £25 before i can withdraw
* lots of piggy points - not enough to withdraw but close!
* £32 in quidco
* £60 waiting for ebayer to pay up
* writing my shopping list to do my months stock up
* Cancelled and lowerd a few bills out of the house hold sky/home insuracne
* £5 off my tmobile bill for complaining - ends 27th March
* lots of left overs used up and batch cooking so no waste or money spent
Im trying and looking at my list im not doing too bad but just wish it would move faster ive updated my spreadsheet and my diary too so i know all the dates of when things start and stop so im organised i just want to GET SOMETHING PAID OFF!!!!
My new challenge is my petrol ive got £80 for the month for my petrol and im going to try and use the car as little as possible and not spend as much on the petrol to see if i can save it and use it to pay towards my debt.
Sorry for the rant but just needed to get it off my chest lol
Have a good day all

Cady, don't lose hold of the fact that you've done so well. You've faced your debt head on and got on with it! I know how you feel about wanting to pay off more and get rid of the debt quicker. But if you read the diaries on here, you know that everyone has a slower month or two!
So rant away and get it off your chest, your friends are still here for you!

Congratulations Cady!!
That's excellent news, fingers crossed it all goes well for you.
I've been reading your diary and I have a feeling you are so determined to reach your debt free date that you will make it no problem.
