You definitely inspire me to do better on the DFW frontThat is amazing! :T:T:T:T:T well done you! :j:j :beer::beer:
Im quite shocked it was so high:o I've never sat and worked it out before what I actually owed altogether. This doesnt include "his" debts I cleared before I realised it was stupid becuase letters coming ment nothing if he didnt live here
Also doesnt include loan sharks (yes I know I know I did go down that route!)
Maybe realising how much I have cleared I will sleep tonight after sitting for the last 3 hours messing with the spreadsheets to make it possible to clear the rest of the debt this year :rotfl:
Thank you too for keeping me going and replyingx

I read your diary almost every day, and I have got to how well you have done with your debts.
I too have "ocd" where cleaning is concerned, so I share your passion for cleaning, I find when my home is clean and tidy I can focus:D
I have honestly got to say I don't know how you have got through the past few months with so little money, but you have, and I have learned alot by reading your thread, and you should be proud of what you have achieved especially as you have such young children as well, I know only too well they can be tiring but an enjoyment at the same time.

You've done so well with paying off that amount :T
Just wondering - are you saving up your valued opinions for anything in particular? You can redeem when you get to £10. I tend to redeem as soon as I can, just in case something goes wrong. It's like with the cashback sites, nothing's guaranteed until it's in your account. The vouchers are usually valid for a while if you don't want to spend them straight away."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
