    OH has mentioned that he will get his bonus in next month's pay - not as much as we hoped for by any stretch of the imagination but enough to pay the following:-
      Next catalogue bill Car tax for both cars for 12 months Balance of Holiday payment Roof fixtures Car service bill (god only knows how much that will be!) DD's school trip - will pay it in full
    :j:j:j:j:j

    The relief I feel is absolutely unbelievable. It means I can put the £100 I have been putting towards Next towards another debt and I will start next month with a clean sheet. I may even have enough left over to pay a bit extra off but I'm not going to get too carried away.

    Feel like we have been on such a roller coaster and just needed a bit of extra money for my head to come back above the surface! OH has even offered to ring the Halifax tonight to see if they have any 0% offers for us

    So hopefully a good start to July - I have enough money to pay for DD's presents and their party and even some spending money for holiday - maybe this is the little break that I need to get myself going again - I hope so.
