Hiya :wave:
Yep I think you're right. It needs to all go to debt. But which debts is the question.
I know I should cut uup those cards but I can't.Sometimes I need them. For emergencies and stuff. I know this is complete nonsense but I can't seem to let them go! I can't spend on my abbey/santander one anyway cos i'm paying it off with a frozen interest rate. But the other three...guess I have not learned yet.
Hope your weekend is all good too.If you know you have enough, you're rich.0 -

Hey Newleaf, LAM20111 and turfy, thank you so much for dropping by and offering encouragement when I need it. :A
I sold the hair straighteners today for £60 and thank goodness I did cos I've run out of cash a week and a bit before pay day. Waiting for £275 of expenses to arrive any day now but til they do I was struggling even for petrol cash to get to work. But now it's all cool.
Yey!!!
Hope everyone's week is going ok.If you know you have enough, you're rich.0 -
