  • Hi everyone some great payments going out.:T:T

    I have updated my signature. We are due to be paid at the end of the month as this only happens every 6 months this is quite an event but this time we have received part of it early meaning that I have been able to pay off £8163.77 this month being 38.68% of my 30K :D

    This means my total debt (including mortgage) is below £250K still eye watering but at least it is going in the right direction and I will be able to pay another decent payment next month and then just dribbles until the next pay day at the end of October - not wishing my life away or anything ;)

    DTxx
  • Well done dt and keep up the good work you are right it's heading in the right direction and that's all that matters x
