£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Kepp

Don't feel I'm getting much done to report at the moment!

Have paid £100 to my brother and £130 to my Mum to start clearing the flight money with her, but that's it

Everything counts ease yourself back in whats the numbers saying what can you pay off ? whats your target date ? xx

Kepp

Numbers arent great The problem is that I have put off buying so much while paying off debt and its getting to the stage where I can't ignore how much I need things like new boots and a new handbag.

My aim is still by the 11th of April though, I so want to have a debt-free birthday!

Well good luck with it Beccie, I know what you mean about not buying things, I need a pair of boots as my one pair are now falling to pieces!!

Take care.

Jacci get some you have done so well we are sometimes too harsh on ourselves big hugs everyone xx

Kepp

Well I did it, I got some new boots

I've also got some orders on some crochet scarves that I've been doing which is great but I sliced my finger open yesterday when I was slicing bread. Managed to cut right across my nail too Have been to the doctors but the huge bandage they have put on it is not making crocheting easy!

Ah nooo sounds a nightmare hope it gets better soon I am very excited oh has been given a 20 month 0% cc which means the last bit of debt after negative wealth will be at 0% freeing us to spend 20 months overpaying the secured loan. I really wanted to be clear for my 30th in march next year but ive managed to get it to september. I dont want to create an unrealistic spreadsheet but i will overpay every little penny i can and hope that i can get as close to my 30th as poss x

Kepp

Thats great news Happy :T 0% interest always makes it feel like you can breathe a little easier x

Thanks Emz :A

I now have a weird plastic thing on it - looks odd but because its smooth it means I can carry on crocheting That's the only problem with taking orders for scarves, I am kind of obliged to finish them while it's still cold enough to want them.

Speaking of which, I had meetings in London yesterday and it was absolutely freezing! I thought cities were supposed to be a little bit warmer?
