Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thats 2 debts paid off in 1 month. :j
I was only going to pay half the mothercare bill today but i had it in the bank so paid it all off, it has left me very short of cash but was well worth it i am just so relieved. Its now time to concentrate on the bigger bills and just hope i can do them as quick!!!
We were planning to do a carboot sale next sunday but now cant as my sister is having her baby right now so we will be popping down to see them instead so we are doing it the week after, and hoping to do really well.
We are planning to move back in with my parents in november as it will cut our bills in half, so we can then start to save some money.
I just feel so positive about it all and i cant wait to be debt free.
Sorry just had to tell someone :D

    Hi Vikki 2004

    WELLDONE, THAT'S GREAT!! Thanks for sharing your good news, I always like to hear other people's success, it is inspiring and motivating!

    Great that you paid off 2 debts in a month and looks like you are taking the right steps to pay off the rest and save.

    Bet you are feeling chuffed with yourself - rightly so!!

    Well done VIKI :j great feeling

    I paid off 2 debts and 2 overdrafts this month - been a bit tight but we have managed. The 2 debts were on the last payments anyway but still they are paid off :j This will be the first month in x amount of years that I have not used my overdraft and that is such a good feeling. I keep looking at my bank statements just to make sure :rotfl:

    Good luck saving :j

    Well done vikki, it does feel great to see the debt balance fall away. You sound so positive with how you are handling your debt I'm sure you'll pay it all off well within your proposed debt free date.
