Looks like your DH has had his LBM...if he has that will make things easier for you.
Yep..new month new challenge.0 -
Great that OH is taking notice of the debt and what you are doing etc. I think having an OH on board helps so much. My OH looks for cheaper meals we can batch cook etc. He never spends any unnecessary money which is great. But then he never really gets involved in the actual paying off of the debts.

Me and hubby have a night set aside at the end of each month where we go through what we have spent all month and how much the debt has been reduced, it keeps us really focused and I don't feel so bad then saying no to evenings out and things because he knows we can't afford it. Its not all good though he still laughs at me for posting on the forum everyday

New job is in something I used to do, been in accounts for 20 years until last year when i got made redundant. I got offered a new job through word of mouth was supposed to be accounts based but has never turned out that way and its sales account manager and I hate it. Im so desperate to get out I will take anything, but I should use it to better myself but I dont know how long i can wait.
Have a good day everyone I see the sun is shiningMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
