    I'm in! In much need of a kick up the b+m so will go for £7000 this year...painful enough to feel it but not so painful as to not have a life at all. Will go back and have a read from the start but wanted to get this in first! Look forward to getting to know you all in the months ahead!
    Ok read through...my payments will be loans and cards - just doing the totals paid as would take forever to work out % interest etc so keeping it simple or Ill get confused and stuff it up!
    So far then
    £50.41 paid/7000

    DH has just kindly mentioned that he put £250 on one of the credit cards yesterday!!!!

    At least it's expensable and we are doing expenses tomorrow...but still.....I think having a partner not on the same page financially is going to be my biggest problem this year.

    I know how you feel Frankie, I have a similar problem.
