Comments

Hi All :hello:
Have updated my sig and appart from blip in October we will be debt free fingers crossed in January!
I put some stuff on ebay which netted me £46 net of fees!
want to sell some more stuff on ebay!
book sales slow
still to sell the Wedding dress
still to apply for smaller bank charges although Im not sure what the status is around claiming at the moment!
we have not moved and this is looking v unlikely at the moment
The next area of focus is overpaying the mortgage and building a buffer. I have been unwell with one thing and another so not having 12k hanging around is some relief. I would love to jack work in but fear having to slide back into plastic NOT fantastic!:j Where there is a will there is a way - there is a way and I will find it :j0 -
Well done you!

Have just sat down & read your diary - how fantastic that you have cleared so much debt. What a weight from your shoulders that must be, encourages the rest of us.0

Sorry to hear about your bereavement - and congratulations on your debt progress!
Bet you are glad you didn't buy a house last June, that was looking impressively like the top of the market (-:
If you can pay of £12k of debt in a year, you can save £10k a year and still have money to have fun with. That means that if you do decide to start a family etc, you'll be in a strong financial position....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Thank you Gemmzie
and thank you neverdespairgirl I am glad we didnt buy that house but strangley enough there is another one in the same area thats on the market for £325k saying that no one has bought it and they have in 5 months only reduced it by £5!!!
yes the plan is to save some more money! and see what happens!!!:j Where there is a will there is a way - there is a way and I will find it :j0
