I'm back! And not only did we not put anything on CCs, we brought some money back. Hurrah! I will be converting it today and paying it off a card. Great holiday.

hi all, been trying to find time to catch up for ages.
Michelle - well done on the job :T
SuzieWong - you are doing really well - pity about the interest - will have to remember that when I close my MBNA which will hopefully be the end of this month.
Kavics - gosh you are also doing really well :T
Seaside dreamer - good luck for job interview.


my running total at the moment is

£3,416 / £10.206

Having a bit of a slow month with extra debt busting as hoping to move house in May so packing up and organising horses etc and Easter coming up but hopefully will have another selling stint before our cut off and will be back to update again.

have a good week everyone.

Good luck with the house move!

Yes, I did lose my car! The money I got paid for the car though was more than what I originally paid for it so couldn't complain there
Has been a long time coming, 17 months of waiting for her to bloody accept liability for driving into the back of me while I was stationary!

It's ridiculous how long these things take to settle. Glad it's sorted now though.

Hi All

Back from holiday today and have overspent very slightly but alot less than I would have spent overall if I hadn't set a budget at all (if that makes sense!).
No OPs to declare today, just popped in to see how everyone was doing. It's great to see people get over the 10K mark :T- really inspiring to me. Well done Michelle on the job:j and welcome to all the newbies - great to have you aboard.
Hope to be back soon with an OP.

hi everyone. hope you are all having a lovely easter. i just got paid today and have paid £150. to my one remaining debt. how wonderful does that feel.

so my new total is £2000/£3500. that feels pretty good i can tell you. if i can pay £500 for the next three months then im done. thats pretty tough going but im sure going to try. i will hopefull make another payment later this month when i see how much i have left in the account.

have a great month everyone. and roll on next payday xx

MY new updated figure is £1072.43:T. Smashing through the £1000 mark is very satisfying. This was regular credit card payments. Going to find it hard from here on as the house has been decluttered of stuff to sell on ebay and i need to find £600 as a shortfall for childcare by the end of August so everything now will be going on the childcare. I will still make the regular payments and try my hardest to make some extra payments where possible. I wnat to be free of this horrible debt which is like a weight round our necks.
