Shifting a 24K debt in a year?????

By way of a P.S. Sorry I don't know how to do multiple quotes either. It never seems to work so I'd be interested to see what advice you're given.

Wow Beccie - this is impressive! And what a lovely b/f to help you
Just one concern - if it's a choice between paying back but burning out, and taking longer to pay back, well, the money can wait, your health can't. (We women always seem to keep going till our health gives! More will power than strength, LOL!)
Anyway, best of luck and I have subscribed as I want to see how it all goes! I will be cheering you on!

Hi Miggy!

Thanks for the advice. It's something I probably need to heed more sometimes!

Whenever, I'm far too tired I do just remind myself how good debt free will feel.

Thanks for the support!

You have to click the speech bubbles to the right of the 'quote' button. Each time you click this on a post, it will add them all to multi-quote. You then use the 'post reply' rather than the quick reply and you should see all your quotes there

p.s well done with all the hours! And I know what you mean about the intrest rates. When I was ignoring my debt, I had no idea my minimum payment of £30 was actually only clearing about £7 off my debt because the rest was intrest!!!

Quick update for today -

Went to my Mum's for dinner last night after finishing work at the pub. She's taken £30 off what I owe her as a thank you for watering their garden while they were on holiday so that's good and very nice of her.

On the downside of money the guy I clean for on a Thursday evenig is going on holiday for two weeks as of next week so no earnings from there.

Going to look at a new place to rent this afternoon which I'm excited about, hope we're finally gonna find somewhere! Not so excited bout paying the agency admin fees as that cuts into my overpayments this month but unfortunately is unavoidable.

My plan for tonight is to give our flat a good scrubbing as it is now on the market so maybe people viewing soon.

An exciting life I lead!

Hiya!

I am subscribing now as I keep forgetting who's diary I need to catch up with!

That was very nice of your mum, every little bit will make a long term difference but I have to agree with the other posters that you shouldn't over do it or you might burn yourself out completely!

Let us know what you think of the new place, we looked at eight places in one day and the place we took was the last one we saw. I would love to move next year but in reality we are better off staying where we are and trying to save a nice house deposit then to move and pay more in rent

Have a good afternoon x

Unfortunately the house was no good, where it was an old house the ceilings were very low, which is no good when you have a 6ft 6" boyfriend! Maybe I should trade him in for someone smaller...:D

If we find nowhere by payday (only two days to go!) then the £400 admin fees I have been keeping hold of this month can go off a card so that will be nice!

Hi Beccie
I have just discovered your thread and think you're doing a fab job! Your target is give or take the same size as mine although I must admit I had not known where to start with getting underway. Reading you progress so far I now feel motivated to make a start and possibly go for a similar time frame, so thank you!
I am all subscribed now so look forward to seeing how your getting on and wish you the very, very best of luck xx
