Although it is entirely up to you what you do.. The stress of having THEM on your back must be awful so I would sell the jewellery ... When I had my little breakdown (lol) I went a tad insane and tidied all my beautiful jewellery away.. Well I thought I had.. instead I managed to chuck all the boxes with all the jewellery still in them in the bin ... everything gone: Including an antique ring that my grandmother`s mother in law had given to her just before she died... Now I can never get that back, they just dont make them like that. So I got the insurance and found the nicest ring I could find and gave it to my daughter... She still has it after nearly six years and loves it.. Now I know that my lovely nan would be so happy at that.. Things are only things stress is a killer.. Hope that helps with your decision

Ps The reason why I told the story is I chewed myself up for so long over losing that ring but in the end it was just a ring.. x0 -
Well done on the payment to THEM and good luck with your 2 year target, you can do it and we'll all be right behind you cheering you on.

After the tax is out of the way (ha) to clear the rest of our debt in 24 months I will have to pay £1900 to it monthly. This will be helped along by any bonuses either OH or I get. It is a LOT of money and feels overwhelming but I intend to give it my 100% best shot. I am going to call around and get my totals updated todayMortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84
