    Hello folks
    hope everyone is enjoying the confused weather :)

    just updated my signature

    have paid off £720 towards debts: £250 towards cc, £200 towards dad loan, £209 bank loan and remainder towards chipping away at overdraft.

    £220 towards mortgage overpayment and £230 towards savings. Have to keep reminding myself its baby steps and am in a better position than I was last year or even at the start of the year as I have decided to stop playing about and tackle this debt mountain properly.

    need to set myself a budget though after I have paid out everything get into a mad frenzy a few days after payday and am now left with very little in the bank to last me- not so good, thank goodness my part time gig has come in handy but need to get more disciplined.

    thats all for me folks - take care
