    I'm 2 and a bit payments away from paying off Egg/BC, surely i can manage £21odds extra and have this paid off in full by end of january? No council tax bill in feb or March but will need that money for insurance and car tax. I might look at ebay again to see whether I can make a few pounds. Surveys are slow..... very slow and Vivatic is now almost non-existent (Anyone else finding this?). Once Egg/BC is paid off thats £100 towards my other debt.

    SS went off on a complete rant last night, I'd gone out to drop OH off forgot my keys and tried to call him to move cars round as he was first one out this morning and i didn't fancy getting up at quarter past six. Phone switched off, so left car outside neighbours (we don't have pavements or the like) and rang the door bell. He went off on one, shouting screaming, kicking things. Turns out he was watching the football and didn't want to be disturbed! Boo hoo. I was fuming, got in the house told him to shut up and stop the strop otherwise I'd cancel the football, I nearly took the livingroom door off its hinges slamming it. His face fell, I think he's wondering if I'll tell OH (not seen him since last night due to work as I left before he got home).
    Seriously? And he isn't gone yet. Dang he would be if he was living in my house. I wouldn't put up with that sort of reaction of blood relatives let alone step idiots.

    He's 20 Lucielle, have just read the riot act (by text as i'm at work) and he's apologised.


    Lucielle, I've just noticed your signature. How did you manage to pay off so much so quickly?

    You shouldn't feel guilty about it Lucielle, after all parents not in debt are less stressed surely.

    sorry that SS has done the usual i hope that you had proper words with him when you got home tonight, and for once (never thought i'd say this) your OH was right to ignore the snub by SD.

    i have faith that you'll be able to find the extra money to pay off egg early, where there's a will and a mse'er there's a way.

    Thanks LT. I have just paid my NI bill, so thats another thing out of the way. I have £6.88 coming my way this month from Quidco, so I may fling that at Egg. I will be so glad once its gone, then I'll need to concentrate on the rest! managed to get my moisturiser (boots one) half price... so a really good result. Cheap ones just break my skin out. Had storecupboard tea, soup and sandwiches. have last night left over lasagne for my lunch tomorrow.
