    i have an announcement.....

    I have sold the car! yay me! it goes tomorrow... so that wipes off 8400 debt and we are 500 better off each month - i can use that to good effect on cc'ds. so after that is paid off our figures will be: £125K which is all that is remaining on cc'ds and loans plus our amount cleared since nov 08 is a whopping £86500K thats like nearly 100 K that we have dealt with!

    thats massive... means that when we sell our house that we have a really good amount left over.
