    I have sent for passwords so I can access my mortgage online hopefully they will arrive later this week. I have £20 coming quidco and £28 from amazon so hopefully I can start paying some off Lloyds as I dont feel like I have made much progress in the last week. I also have £77 coming from ebay sale on Thursday so hope DS will go to the bank on Friday to pay a bit more off.
    I am also going to pinch Taxi's tactic of decluttering a bit at a time as I tend to move things from one room to another, so while DH is away this week I am hoping to make some progress and get bits on ebay to make some more money

    Every time I send money to Lloyds I think 'take that you basta*ds!'. I hate them so much, I wish I hadn't spent my entire credit limit with them!

    well Done HWG on extra payments.

    Someone else put their mortgage into the snowball and was able to clearly see what the best plan was, maybe that will help. Although I agree with Taxi and clear the big boys first.

    Woo - we have too much hate in our souls :)

    Just typed out a long post and lost it all so the shortened version is
    Peeved spent overpayment money on breakdown cover at least it didnt go on a cc
    Have started the declutter a few bits for ebay
    £28.02 from Amazon will take a week to reach my account
    Was going to visit my sister at the weekend while DH is away but fuel would be £60 + and cant justify it just yet.
    I am going to attempt a bit of sorting each evening and then a mass clear up ebay session at the weekend please kick me if you dont see any post updating this list

    Why don't you get your sister to come to you since you have a 'free house'

    £28 on Amazon is GREAT, I have practically given up on that one - think it is best for books really.

    You will never need a kick hon, we need to remind you to slow down!

    Wish my sister could visit but she has a farm and caravan site so very busy at this time of the year. Also my house could do with a complete spring clean tidy house tidy mind.
