    afternoon all :D

    Congratulations to Len, Bev and Harry :D (and I expect Jack is just as excited at a new little brother :T)

    I've had an exhilerating morning (updated my diary - blimey, there's phrase I thought I'd never use again) but the planets have turned in a way that has definitely done something to my fate this morning :T
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Spud - £2000 is a lot of money - well done for doing it, although I know it probably hurt a bit. I'm sure you'll make the best use of it - now you can keep the momentum going with some ebay sales :D

    Have you asked what full & final amounts they'll accept spud?

    If you do pay things off will this free up enough per month to allow you to save some for a rainy day?

    ...Linda xx

    I havent asked, because up until today, we didnt have the money.

    Maybe there's a letter on here somewhere I can use :confused:

    set aside 10% to splurge/treat the kids...

    use the rest for F&F of niggly debts, assuming DMP will allow it?

    Keep your offers low and clear as many creditors as you can, it will be so liberating!!

    Right, will look into F&Fs

    When you say keep offers low, how low do you mean?

    I'm a bit excited :T

    It hurt loads BB, but the money will do far more for us than a pile of metal wont it :o
