Hi everyone,i know i havent been on here in a while,a quick update,i will have my debt down 2 under £1250 by the end of this mnth.We booked a weeks holiday 2 Haven about a mnth ago,my mum gave us £200 for Christmas so that went towards the holiday.We got £150 disc off the price which came in at £300 which isnt bad,only other expence is £150 for boat and train which will be booked about a mnth before we go,were going to there for a wk in Sept so i am hoping to be debt free by the end of August which i think is possible!Wife only has 10wks 2 go till baby arrives in April so she has most things bought now that she needs for the baby so thats 1 less thing 2 worry about!

Hello people,am still on target for 31st August for 2 pay off my debts.Wifes waters broke there last wk when she was 6wks early but she didnt go into labour and theve let her out every morning as long as she goes back at nt.Had 2 book a wk off work cos i head off 2 work at 5.30 in the morn and they wont let her out of hosp till 10 each morn but had enough days banked 2 take them as paid holidays.Wifes consultant said they were going 2 induce her if she didnt go into labour by 36wks which is 30th march so its just a waiting game till baby arrives.

Good man George hope ure keeping alright and the moneysavings going well.Went down town this morning and applied for that Santander Flexible I.S.A.Was told it should take about a wk for the card 2 come.Its by far the best i.s.a avail cos if the bank of end int rate goes up so does it and it stays 3% above the int rate.
