    Maybe you can actually become a Working Girl now too ;)

    Look forward to seeing you knocking the numbers off your debt. :)
  • I think I had my lightbulb moment last night _pale_

    We do have more debt than this, a LOT more, yet strangely I never counted it as debt as it’s not being added to and is steadily being paid off (it was all accrued last year when OH was out of work for 8 months)

    However I worked out at minimum payments it’s going to take us 4 and a half years to clear :wall: :eek:

    I can’t believe I was being so naive about it all! Especially considering what I do for a living! :embarasse

    I guess as we weren’t struggling to meet payments I just didn’t notice. :shocked:

    I’ll be going to cry in the corner now :cry:

    I won’t blame any of you if you stop asking me questions as it’s quite clear I don’t have a grip on reality :doh:

    Aww thank you, thats cheered me right up :)

    I’m just feeling a bit pants about it all! As if I really thought I wasn’t in debt! :rotfl:

    Don’t worry I’m not going anywhere, i seem to be able to tell other people what to do, just not listen to myself!

    It’s just a pain in the booty as we wanted to buy our first house next year and get married the year after, don’t look like that’s happening any time soon :(

    I'm glad you're feeling a little better :)

    You never know WG, once the dust had settled and you've thought about how to pay it back it might not seem so bad. (((hugs)))
  • Have you thought about phoning the CCCS? :think:

    I'll dig their number out if you need it! ;):p

    Nah seriously hun, like you say, you're not adding to it which is a good thing. Just look at ways to make it go down quicker.

    Post a SOA if you want! :D
