Well technology has been against me which is why no updates. Internet stuffed at home and as a bl*ckberry owner not had much joy there of late!
Work has also been manic so no opportunity to quickly update from there.
Anyway here I am reporting first payment made of CC2
Am managing to keep on top of the housework and it has paid off this week as had 2 people drop by unexpectedly and was fine and calm about it as house was clean and tidy :T
I have a bit of a dilemma as have been offered some second hand materials which will enable me to get some much needed work done on the house at a greatly reduced cost which should also help save on fuel bills longer term. Only thing is I will need to add a couple of
to my sig in order to do it. It will be on 0% though.
I will work through the maths this weekend and see what that does to my monthly payments and whether I can clear it all before 0% deal runs out on the cards. I had really started to get into the mindset of saving up for the things but if I put this off it will probably end up costing more in the future as may not get the opportunity of the cheap materials again.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( = £13000 to pay off
