Finally

Options
Afternoon guys and gals,

Phew.. Finally my debts are decreasing and i love looking at my signature now! Makes it so much nicer seeing that i owe £22900 rather than £23700.

How close i was to owing 24k, now its on the right way towards 22k.

Im hoping i can update it in the next few weeks as i have some tax credit money coming next week and i've got my ebay sales money.

Also, the ex has to pay his share next week when he is paid. I've paid at least the minimums so anything he gives me is an overpayment! He did say to me he will give me around £700 :j

Am happy as well, as today i got my full time wages - nearly 4x the amount i was earning part time. Plus, my mum paid for my shopping as she is staying with me for 2 weeks - lots of BOGOFs and stuff that was reduced, so now have 2 freezers full of food and a fridge that is packed so no shopping for me for a while!

Oh, and my £30 rebate from British Gas arrived!

But i wont talk about the £750 overpayment letter form the council i got today :mad:
