At The Moment My Husband Is Being Re- Assesed For His 3 Kids By Csa So We Will Have This As An Additional Bill Each Month Too (estimate No More Than About £60 Per Month)
.............As you can see i have made small headway into the debts and overdue bills. I am really aiming to be up to date on most of the bills by the end of May but only time will tell.
I have done a budget and am having no trouble sticking to it at the moment so im really positive about that.
And if i do get any extra money its going stright off the overdue payments and debts............im so determined!!Focusing on clearing the credit cards in 2018 :T0 -
im actually a bit mffed as i thought, well felt id done a bit better than that,. although i am 100% more organised than i was at the beginning and have a real goal in my head now.........Focusing on clearing the credit cards in 2018 :T0

Did you get any joy from the council?2014 Target;

Overpayment to date : £310

Hi dotty,
I think you are doing brilliantly! You have come on so much!
Maybe it would help to post the SOA again with one figure (in one colour) as the previous amount and then the new figure (in another colour, if its changed) - that might make it easier for you (and everyone else) to view and show you how far you've come!
I am so proud of you!
scottishspendaholic xMBNA = £4,000 / Next = £925 (approx. tbc on 19/8)
Tesco = £2,910.11 / Smile overdraft = £500
Bank of Scotland = £2,782.830 -
Hi Dottyanne

I too think you have done so well...its all positive steps and even if they seem little you are moving in the right direction :T which is the most important thing right now.

Hey dotty, the other comment I made in your other thread about overdrafts, could you pay back the IR about your overdue tax credits instead?:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
