A quick update...

....on this thread here and this thread here.

I moved into a rented studio flat at the end of January which costs me £425 a month, still haven't managed to make lunch to take to work with me which is where most of my money goes... One big problem I have is that my kitchen is tiny and I don't have much storage so I tend to go shopping a few times a week instead of bulk shopping, I also don't have a car so can only buy small amounts at a time. Even if I could bulk shop I would have nowhere to put it anyway...

The good thing is I maybe moving up to a bigger flat in July, but then my rent will go up to £500 a month!

I managed to get a credit card through my bank with 0% balance transfer for 12 months I think, I put my Next debt on that and am paying it off a bit quicker now. The other debts are still being paid off at the minimum amounts but I intend to start paying more after my holiday in July (as mentioned in this thread).

I am doing quite well at the moment but as mentioned in the last thread I really want to buy a flat of my own... but as people have advised it would probably be better to pay off my debts first!

No doubt I will be here a bit later in the year for some help at raising money to pay off my debts... for the time being I am going to enjoy a holiday and having money for a change!
