    Good morning everyone

    have been on holiday for a week, so not been able to update. everyone needs a holiday even when trying to clear debt.

    managed to go another two weeks without any shopping (week 5 of living out of cupboards and freezers) so going to make a top up payments of £40. Also got my £10 interest from my two halifax currents so going to pay that off the mortgage also.
    so extra payment to mortgage today £50.00 :j

    A cheeky £26 or so to bring my total paid off to £3k - that's a third of my target! Jolly pleasing, even though I won't make it to 9K this year. BUt we will pay off all our debt (a chunk of that 9k was going to be savings). If I can end the year with some sort of savings I will be thrilled.
