I have today spoken to the CCCS who are helping me to deal with my debt and the final total of debt was even more than i thought as i had forgotten a tax bill of my husbands argh so it is now 13,225 ...!! My hubby is working away until april, but when he gets back i hope to make a big dent in this debt with his bonus...so i think i will be playing catch up for a while yet lol

im checking in and reading everyday (more or less) and im stunned by the amount some people are managing to pay off. some people have paid off my entire debt already!!! incredible. i must be in the wrong job - lol.

im currently debating paying off another £40 now or waiting until futher into the month (i get paid 17th ish) as im not sure how well the month will go.

i might get this weekend out of the way and see where we are. this weekend need to pay for food shopping and taking dd and two friends swimming and takeaway so a little bit of expence to cover there. next weekend is centre parcs so need to be prepared (financially) for that too.

if i am careful i should still manage the extra £40 plus a bit more but dont want to leave myself short either. decisions decisions x

At least you know where you really stand now and you can start making that annoying figure go down and down :j

Hang on in there!

I know what you mean about the amounts some people are paying off. I bet their thinking 'Bloody hell... I'd be rich if I wasn't paying off debt!' :rotfl:

If you pay off debt with that £40 then you wont be tempted to spend it... but if you run short you don't want to have to put anything on credit cards... tough one :think:

Just paid £206.41 off my Amex this month so that's £315.45/£6842.49. Looking foreard to pay day on Monday and paying the other £430 off the card. Haven't actually really paid off anything in January in terms of total debt...its increased by £42 but have paid my card insurance for the year out of that so its not so bad. February should be much better:cool:
