Morning :hello:
Tax credits in so chucked them over to the barclaycard so I'm under the £3k mark now hurtling towards getting it under the £2k mark as soon as possible might even be this week if the council pay me on Friday :j we shall see
Also now paid over £10k in debt this year :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I'm hoping this is the last year where I need to pay off this amount in a year well not need but you know what I mean I would love 2020 to be debt free year and then I can save some cash for when we remortgage in 2021
Abbies off to college with the a spring in her step hopefully her interview is goes well, if she gets the apprenticeship we lose her child benefit and tax credits but we will manage just means I won't have as much to fling a team the debt but that ok we will adjust xx
