Not had the best start to the week. Me n OH have decided to seperate. Everything is in my name house, all the hh bills and our loan! He's moving out as soon as he can get somewhere sorted.
Feeling a little lost at the moment as i dont work (have 1yr old and 4yr old at nursery) and finding a job to fit in with ex hrs and kids was impossible. I've done the sums and i should be able to manage (mortgage will have to stay on interest only for the foreseeable and havent a clue what to do next with it!). PAD's maybe a little scarce till i know whats what money wise Should be able to make a pad tomoro.
So sorry to hear that nickynoo, hopefully you'll be able to come up with a plan of action when things settle down a bit.

No. 83 here, I've paid off another £26.79 today bringing my new total to £1532.69/£2400. It all adds up! I'm well on track so far although I may not pay off that much on payday this month as our laptop has packed up and I need a new one

Hi Everyone number 43 reporting in,
I havn't posted for awhile but in the last week I have paid off a 3 credit cards a loan plus a bit of another loan. So for June my payments £23,657. This bring my total in 2011 to £29,325.:j:T
I have also over paid on my mortgage by £1497.
Jwil - can you please update page 1.
I don't want to add another target because I have only one loan left and the way it is set up i only have to make one very big payment per year, which I have already done for 2011. I hope to pay 2012 amount later this year or be able to clear it thus no debt.
Thank you everyone for your postings they really do help.Pay £7,500 in 2011 paid £29,325 No 43 OP £21,825

£250 paid to M&S CC today, taking me to £6737.04 paid so far
. Have also closed the account because they wanted to increase the interest rate! I have £8000 to pay off, and can't now use the card, so in some ways I am pleased. Just annoyed with myself for running up that debt (and more!) with nothing to show for it. Most of the time I feel positive that I am paying it off although it will take a while.... other times, like today, I just feel annoyed! :mad:
