    Eeeek! I've been AWOL - sorry.......sorry.gif

    I'm now back at work so hopefully the debt busting will take a turn in the right direction ! managed to pay £320 off of BoS since last payday which is good! smiley_emoticons_bravo2.gif I have been really bad with overpayments since I last posted in December........I paid nothing over the minimum so was a bit ashamed of myself and hid away from here!

    BUT I'M BACK AND READY TO GET MY MSE HEAD WELL AND TRULY BACK ON! :money:

    The diet has kind of gone out the window too as ................I'M PREGNANT AGAIN!!!!!! 14 weeks today! So my big aim is to get all this debt paid off before this baby arrives in November!

    Glad to be back! bf-wave-new.gif

  • Glad to see you back and congratulations on the pregnancy.

    Hi BR

    Don't be ashamed about only making minimum payments, that is always still a step in the right direction.

    Big congratulations on the pregnancy, and what a brilliant motivation to kick this debt to the kerb xx

    Another £20 whizzing it's way to BoS this morning! So satisfying! 1sm067smug.gif

    The day before payday BoS stood at £1,296.98. Today £946.98!!!!


    That's £350 of a difference! not too bad. nod.gif



    I want to have this debt sitting below £900 before the next paycheck arrives - pray I can do it! 1sm001pray.gif



    Say I have 6 more paydays till baby No3 arrives - if I can aim to pay at least £400 off the debts each month (not including minimum payments) this takes me to £2400 - debt total stands today at £2682.38............leaving only £282 to clear!

    I'm officially a [STRIKE]man[/STRIKE] pregnant lady with a plan smiley_pregnant.gif

    It's raining today bf-umbrellared.gif so that means the dreaded tumble drier Grrrr011.gif. However on a more positive note it is a day off and I hope to start sorting out the kids clothes so may just find a few bits to sell 1sm375piggybank.gif
