    hello folks

    sorry have been a bit slack in my entries, have a new job so that has been eating up in my time but was going through the entries and am now committed to the cause. June has been a weird month so far but won't complain there is food in the fridge/ cupboards and I have not had to forsake my social life completely so looking on the positive. am about to amend my signature but my payments for may totalled. £855.00

    hope everyone is doing well. coming to the halfway mark still feel like I am plodding along but the light is getting immensely brighter. :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

    No debt news from me, but other exciting news! I passed my final exam now and am a qualified accountant! Very happy, especially at the thought that I don't need to do anymore exams now

    Well done Mel, brilliant! So as a qualified accountant, does that mean you're going to be even quicker at making your debts disappear? :)
