    Evening all

    hugs to all who need them

    A totally unpredictable £136.66 to Provident - and the balance is now ZERO :j:j

    Now I have a dilemma, I am now £140 a month better off, but both credit cards have had the interest frozen, so would I be better paying the money to them, or off the mortgage?

    Off to update sig
    Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

    Well done!! :j:j:j

    How long is the interest on the credit cards going to be frozen for? If it is forevermore then pay the mortgage, but if at some point the credit cards will be 29.9% then maybe pay them.

    Use the snowball calculator!!!

    It's frozen because I was on DMP so unless I start paying really silly amounts it will probably stay that way.
    Is there a calculator for mortgage overpayments?

    Have updated sig, now off to do snowball stuff.

    There might be one on the same site as the snowball calculator, I know there are a few different ones on there.

    I'm making a loose change pad of £1.85 today please.

    I've had a really crappy week this week. Don't want to go too much into it but things at work are just not the same as they were. I have absolutely loved the time I've been there, but recent changes to the leadership team and department management have just ruined the place. We had a new department leader this year who seemed good at first, but is now facing incompetency procedures because it turned out he was bluffing all the way :mad::eek: Problem is it's taking so long for anything to happen and its putting so much stress on everyone else. I just feel so awful watching the department I love going down the pan, I'm doing my best but theres only so much you can do. A couple of my closest friends there are also leaving and I'm just thinking it's time for me to move on.

    Anyway, sorry for the rant :(

    xx
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o
  • Hugs silaqui, hope you figure something out xx

    Well done Gillian!!! Not sure what to suggest with ccs, unless you pad into separate account to build up enough to just pay the ccs in full? x

  • Thanks Euro, it is all separate - hotel is Travelodge and the only thing I'm actually booking is theatre tickets and some transport for the girls coming from blackpool. I did look at the packages but decided against it as I'm not sure I entirely trust them!! x
