    Well done on Loans and mortgage!

    My mortgage comes down this month due to end of fixed rate - £200 saving but of course I have arrears to pay from non-paid CC in Feb,however its good in the hood as soon I will be able to use £200 to actually pay of debt!

    Good for not feeding adults - and yummy on cake. Mr RMC makes novelty bday cakes and I am sure he would give you MSE discount but somehow I am not sure it would travel well from Ireland!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Yeah I agree - don't feed the adults - they will eat the left overs!

    GREAT news about OH's payrise!!! :T:T:T

    Sounds like you have really got to grips with your spending BTD, so don't dwell on the increase - it has reduced overall, so it's going in the right direction.

    Hope you get some anti-b's from the Docs, take care :)
  • Thanks Mac girl, dr said Just a virus going around!!! My pay rise is April so i am going to save extra!x

    That's good. Virus = no anti-biotics = no prescription charge = :money:

    Hopefully you're on the other side of it now, just rest up and keep warm til it goes x (maybe a cheeky baileys and Tia Maria might shift it? :p)
