Hi All
I keep coming and going from this thread - so much else to do - so here is me for today.
£188.98
Our debt increased through 2010, at one point reaching almost £23K, not counting two loans and the mortgage.
It is now down to £20K, 11 payments left on Loan 1 , 35 left on Loan 2.
I have done a snowball using make sense of cards and by careful planning, store cupboard and freezer use - this £20K should be 0 by July 2012, but am aiming for April 2012.
We are expecting an insurance payout this year, somewhere between £10K - £15K, but that is not going to the debts as apart from the main one which is 6.9% LOB - they are all at 0%. That will be going to the mortgage to give us a head start on that - it is part endowment and will not be enough to pay off :mad: the endowment part.
From April last year I kept a household spend diary and it makes scary reading
Groceries £5766.96 just over £640 average per month
Eating out/Takeaway £429.6 just over £47 per month
The other main expense was leisure. gym, badminton clubs, fishing and DS driving lessons.
I will definitely be reviewing all these - there are only 3 adults in the house, although DS can eat for England, so sometimes seems like 5 or more are being fed.
Speak again soon x0 -
Morning all. I feel terrible today - every muscle in my body hurts. Not just a little bit, either
£1.35 from me todayDon't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
