Paid off 7 creditors today!

I hope you don't mind my sharing this, but, having been made voluntarily redundant on 3 April, I finally received my redundancy payout today, and have been able to pay off a total of 7 creditors!

Still a way to go, but since I started a new job yesterday, I'll get there.

    Thanks, Tixy. The new job is on a slightly lower salary, but has a lot better prospects for the future.

    Good for you . . .

    Thank you - I now have the lowest number of debts that I can remember having ever since I first got into debt. I also have a plan in place to whittle away at what's left. To see the list shrink so much in one go has been the best thing that's happened in a long time.

    Congrats, I can't wait for the day that I can get rid of one off the list!
  • Yay. :j :j :j

    Well done you. :T :T :T

    Redundancy very rubbish

    Paying off debts with pay out very cool.

    Good luck with your new job. :D
