very used to be additions part of littlewoods/shop direct group also own great universil and woolworths online.
they suck you in with interest free deals and very good discount codes.
hubbys paid another £160 off 2credit cards both min payments.
but on brighter note hes reveiwed his career plans as 1%payrise, bonus impossible to achieve so hes decided to look around at otherjobs and withdraw from sharesave 2years early so just gets back whathe paid but with bleak predictions foruk economy2010/11 imnot convinced he would have made much plus we struggling now!
so hes got 2grand to pay off one card hoping to clear tesco card within next 3months to 0 leaving just abby cc £4500,od £2700 and aa loan -a lot need to get uptodate figure i reckon £20,000..
i still have next,loan and bankcharges/interest to pay this month.
focusing on very 1st as highest interest rate
so hopefully fingers crossed by end of march we hit £5000paid 25%there so 5grand a quarter will hit target and be left with nothing but reduced aa loan.
Been job hunting today at job centre nothing suitable around hubbys hours so will keep looking.
hubby looked at 2nd job looked hopeful but agency messed him around!
will keep looking andebaying like mad .
