    Sounds good, my measures are very generous!!! Couldnt find a decent bottle that i wanted so have settled for a bottle of OH's pear cider but have poured it into my giant wine glass that i won last night:rotfl:i'm pretending it's wine:rotfl:

    On the upside OH gets his motor tomorrow we hope:j All the s**te will be out of my car by the end of the week:j:j:j

    Thanks for the kind words re the debt busting hun, muchly appreciated. I am the same as you, a much better letter writer and OH is pants with the pennies, always has been :o

    The mess we are in is mainly due to paying off all his debts when we married, then refinancing to get a car, then refinancing again so he could have a quad bike, then ending up back in scotland with no job no money and no home:eek: But within 4 months of getting back to scotland we got a house:D (not the best area but super close to my parents:D:D:D), 8 months later we handed our car back to the finance company and had our debt wiped out, a month later I had my motability car, and 2 months after that I got a job:D

    Since we got our house I have arranged payment plans (ok £10 a month on 3 huge debts) but we keep our heads above water and I am looking at saving up for a F&F offer on the smallest one by the end of next year, then the next biggest then the biggest!

    So :beer: my good friends, lets hope all our troubles are drowned forever in the sea of wine that we will guzzle with gusto when these debts are busted once and for all:beer::beer::beer:
    LBM - August 2008 - Debts then - £33390 :eek:- 2nd LBM - November 2009 - Debts then - £18500:mad:
    Current debt levels: OD £3860, Loan 1 £6091, Loan 2 £5052, Parents £260, Total £16133 :eek: As at 01 May 2012 - 51.69% paid off :j

    Postie has been and gone - just a speculative car insurance quote from Aviva. Never mind - every day can't be as exciting as yesterday.

    Looks like a day of ebaying ahead ;).
