    Where are you Kerri? Glad to hear you got away unscathed from the psycho flatmate, I just want to hear more about your love nest and how the debt busting is going

    Hi Kerri, How are you? Long time of no posting for me I'm afraid....and it wasn't due to paying off the debt either!

    Anyway, new year, new start! I'm tackling the debt head on now and hope for it all to be cleared by the end of this year. The balance had actually gone up!

    look forward to catching up with things again. Being on the threads certainly helped me keep my head out of the sand/clouds!

    Hi HP, I have a shiny new diary for 2013, it's more a daily post instead of lots of little posts (I save those for the random challenges I'm on). My debt went up from August when I moved house and I'm starting to tackle them back down again now. I've only the two creditors left to blast hurray \o/ and I'm under £3k remaining woooohooo.

    You can find my shiny new diary here It's feeling quite quiet on there at the moment as I forgot to say I'd moved oops!

    I was hoping that I could see all the people I had on here last time (I'm sure I had a list of contacts or something?) Those that I used to 'keep up to speed' with!

    I can't believe how long I've been away! I suppose I wasn't really focussed on sorting the debt! I have made sure that cc's are on 0% as much as poss, so I'm not in an awful situation. It just seems things come up that we want/want to do/buy and we just don't have the willpower not to leave it until we have saved!

    Our son will be driving this year and possibly going to uni. We have also just opted out of receiving Child Benefit, so we are really gonna have to make sure we stick to the plan this time!
    Take care and I'll check out your diary!

    Oh and I wouldn't worry about being away for so long, at least you've come back and you're not in a worse situation than you were in before :) The debt WILL be gone, and just think with your son going to uni, one less mouth to feed aka reducing the food budget hehehe
