Hi All! Me again!

Just wanted to update you all as I havent been on here for ages! With the help of the other half getting a loan we no longer have any credit cards and are just paying a large amount off the loan each month. My business has been going very well and have been able to buy a new van to make it look that more professional. Just need to move it on to expand etc. Not going on a 5 grand holiday this year so that will help!! LOL!

Stopped borrowing large amounts off the parents and finally working out that if I CANT PAY FOR IT THEN I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CAN!

Hope you are all well! Catch up soon!

Few ups and downs after as the bad weather at the start of the year put paid to me working much and buying an lpg van the figure rose to £15500 again but since managed to get it down again too £13352. Credit cards are still quite high but been clearing family debt as that pains me more, I know its not interest bearing but still it makes me feel better.

Next target is to be down to £11000 by end of June. Then by end of september be down to £8000.
