    Well done on your overpayment Taxi, thats a hefty one for Halifax!

    Good luck on your goals, I am sure you will succeed. Giving up smoking is sooo hard but definitely worth it and the weight loss will follow. Be careful trying to do it all together. I found I could do one or the other but not both together!

    Hope you and DH are well x xx

    Just paid another £1k off the Halifax CC as I really need to try and bust this one by end of feb beginning of march so that I don't pay interest but it will be really hard to doa payment to BC went today but I can't update my sig until the statement comes through as it has interest on that one.
    That's about it really.

    Pay off over 1K of your debts with a casual throw away line I love it :T:T:T:T

    Thanks all.
    I'm not getting hung up on losing weight at the moment as giving up smoking is more important.I can start losing weight when my body is over the initial shock of not smoking.

    just thinking how much richer we'll be once all the debt and mortgage has gone...I always feel skint at the moment as I pay every spare penny off the debt..even if I don't make any overpayments on the mortage I'd be mortgage free by april 2018 as last time I remortgaged I took it down to 10 years.

    Why don't you get a treat pot and put the cash you'd have spent every week on Slimming World away - not for debts - FOR YOU - as a reward and incentive to keep at it, when you decide to tackle the weight loss.

    I've been debating that one Milann but really need to be rid of both Halifax and A+L before the 0% runs out if to achieve my goals.

    hi taxi, not really been online too much over the last week and look at the changes you've made, and the massive payments. you'll be debt free in next to no time and i'll be so happy for you.
