  • Just told my OH that we have paid 902.19 off debts this month and he nearly fell to the floor - OH doesnt have much to do with the debt busting side of things, as he was kind of in denial when i had my LBM - although he's more into it, now he has seen the balances go down - but he still lets me get on with it!

    We just cant believe how well off we would be if we hadnt been so stupid, i guess we did well to realise how debts sooner rather than later though :(

  • Hiya all, hope you are all Ok and had good new years! I discovered that its payday this friday which is ace, as i thought it was the friday after - yipee!! decided that once my overdraft, hitachi and the videographer are paid off, im going to up my savings from £25 to £30 a month, I know some people think its silly to have savings while paying off debts, but it makes me feel more comfortable, never had savings in my life lol and while im making the payments its no harm, if i was missing them but had money stashed away then its different :)

    anyway im off to a friends now, will write again soon - bye bye x
