One Debt Cleared!

Hey all - I dont know if many of you remember or not but a while ago when I joined (March time) I had many many debts, some big and some small - also you may or may not know that i had debts X 2 as I run my own business........anyhow one of the biggest and most worrying of my debts was PAYE & NI to the Inland Revenue and I just wanted to tell you all that today (albeit by cheque) I have cleared this debt in full - it was at the time numerous bills of £94 to £120ish edbts totalling £680- odd...........well no more....:money:

It's a huge weight of my mind now.......Ive had a bad couple of months personally and this has obviously shown financially as out of the last couple of months weve had to take about 4 and half weeks off hence no money (hubby works for me too).....however slowly I can see light at the end of the tunnel.................;)

just thought you might like to know!!

  • Well done, I think you are going about it in the best way... focussing on one item then working towards another.

    I've only had my LBM a couple of weeks back, so joined the challenges as per my signature. I'm half way to my £250 challenge target, but this is great for, it is a much more acheivable thing to aim for than saying 'I need to pay off 28k'!!

    Well done again, and hope to hear about your next debt clearing soon!
