    Another payment done, and another step closer to being free of the debt......getting there! I know it is a long slog but you will get there.

    Another £50 sent online today.

    That makes £725 so far.

    I dread to think what I used to do with my money in the past. I have never felt flush and always wondered and worried about when the next cheque was coming in. Its not a way to live your life....trust me.:rolleyes:

    Byeee everyone x

    Hi Lemma,

    Looks like you are managing to stay really focussed on this debt. Good luck with your payments every day.

    The focus is down to one thing.....FEAR:eek: :eek: :eek:


    I have had a variable relationship with the tax man for a number of years. He always wins :mad:

    But yes, I am really focussed on this, I have a HUGE amount to pay as a result of not paying enough tax last year cos it was based on the year I was only working for 4 months. The balancing payment plus the payments on account come to almost half of my likely receipts this year. As the only earner in the house it is a very scary reality check that I have to accept.

    Thank you for the encouragement. The positive strokes help us all don't they? ;):D
