    It's not about how good you are or how professional you think your cards have to look, just that you have fun making them.

    I won't be kicking anyone off here anytime soon :D

    Not a lot is happening at Fresian Towers, but I thought I should post anyway :D

    My monthly loan payment has hit the account, which brings the outstanding balance down to £4034.89, so obviously this month's target is to bring that under £4,000. I have my savings too, so the amount owed is down to £1234.89 (not including any interest penalties for early repayment) :D

    I'm finding my current levels of debt repayment a little frustrating. We no longer have a lodger which means I don't have a "spare" £300 per month to throw at it, and I'm realising how much I relied on that money for little treats, and to pay for our holidays. I can realistically pay about £50 off every month on top of my monthly payment, but it doesn't feel like much.

    Every little helps I suppose :D

    Happy hump day ;)
  • I let my sister do the making if it involves card! Now if it involves fibreglass and filler I'm in heaven, I can spend hours sanding it to perfection :o.

    Don't be disheartened, you have lost £300 off your income and are still meeting the loan payments AND making over payments, not bad going really :T.
