I was up very late..lol last night.
Everythings fine just been really busy with stuff.
The kids have bought DH a new computer and I've been setting that up!!!

Hi all..just a little catch up.
Need to update my sig as my car loan went out the other day.
I've also paid £150 off DHs CC
£25 min payment went on DHs BMI card but can't update that yet as there'll be interest on that one.

Just took £40 out of BB..so happy with that.
I also have the £500 ready for my reg saver and the £1k ready plus another couple of hundred pound spare in the Halifax account ready for the 1st of the month..once I've put it through both accounts I'll pay it off virgin.

So everything is looking ok there.
Can't wait for the mortgage challenge to start and will have my correct figures by the 3rd dec...

I can't believe the mortgage challenge is just a couple of weeks away! I am really looking forward to it.....:D

taxi73

I can't wait either....my total will be less than I thought as well.
I love challenges.

Ooh jealous of the mortgage challenge, you 2 will be debt free and mortgage free before you know it! xx

With a mortgage approaching £200k, penguin, I think I will be a little while yet

Taxi will be done and dusted in no time, in comparison!!

I'm seriously hoping so but my original challenge aws debt and mortgage free by feb 2014.
This one ends 12/12/12...so will so I amy not make it but will do my best.
Debtbusting seems slow at the minute but I think it's because I've just laid out more thatn £2000 on a new boiler!!!..but at least it's been paid for without going on a CC so am happy about that...but of course it's also £2000 that didn't get paid off debt!!!

hypno06

Oh I know that feeling well, taxi - the money I have paid out for DD to go to china and now for both kids to ski again this winter will mean £7k has not been paid off the debt this winter......but, hey, you can't always put every penny to the debt, either through lifestyle choice, or necessity, so I will just be happy with what I HAVE paid and not be too fussed about the rest!!

That's about the jist of what I meant Hypno.Meaning that if nothing cropped up then I may just make it by 12/12/12 which will be fantastic.
When I do an offer ie bingo..I never even think to sign DH up which I should really as every little helps.

it's taken me ages to get my OH to agree to even do the scratch cards, and i have to do them for him each day. I've discussed with (aka told) him that i'm joining him to BB when he gets paid. It's worth a shot.
