    Is the increase from £100 a day to £150 just a short term catch up thing, or are you able to maintain that longer term do you reckon?

    Don't leave yourself short in other areas.......

    Its a short term thing to catch up for last week. I could never sustain it especially as i have been off work. I have to keep up tho or they will get narky with me.

    My income is based on feast or famine. I do have a well paid job and cannot deny that. I could pay off a lump sum a month from my tax arrears but it would leave me very short, i pay this way so i know i always...well, nearly always have a bit of cashflow. I know it seems a lot but my tax arrears are a lot too cos of a !!!! up by the accountants. We sacrifice a lot, we don't go out etc. My hubby and i had a 3 day holiday last week, first trip in 10 years. I follow all the MSE rules and it works...for the most part.

    I want to be debt free if possible by April next year. Don't think i will get there with the tax tho, but may with the credit card.

    Never mind, lemma. That's a great milestone.

    And £100 makes £14,100

    I have not received a statement from them in ages. I wish they would send one so i can see what progress i am making. Very annoying.

    Hi Lemma not been posting much so it's been good to catch up on your thread and see you've had a break. I'm glad you came back feeling revitalised.

    Well done on carrying on with your payments. Just think of all the holidays you WILL be having when you're clear ;) :T
    One step at a time ;)
