    Hi Guys

    had my letter from my mortgage company to confirm now on SVR rate.

    Now will definetley have a overpayment of 45 pers month no matter what as I am putting £500.00 away every month to cover mortgage and OP.

    CC I am ebaying like mad will slowly chip away at this. Also have my OH on board now as I have discussed with him that the CC needs to go. If we continue we will be in debt so having OH on board is a good thing.

    Will update next thurs/fri let you know how im getting on unless we have urgent things to discuss lol xx

    Hi Stacy,

    Just wanted to say well done with all your doing, thats rubbish about the TV but hopefully this one will last a bit longer:D

    Well done for getting your OH on board, I have had similar problems with mine, Think he is slowly getting there as a bit of a scare about his job made him realise how important it is to be financially secure, so he is making much more effort to be sensible with money.:o

    Good luck clering things, I'll be interested to see how you get on as we have very sjmilar targets for this year!!
    Mortgage @ 01.06.10 £165,999
    Mortgage @ 31.10.13 £14,664
