  • Well peeps here I am, where I set out to achieve to solve someone elses debt - the task is completed.:j:T
    ***********Question of dilemma - do I make sure the old bank account of sons GF is closed down fully. I think her mum has other ideas about it being left and maybe reused.... I know its got nothing to do with me really but I have put a lot of hard work into sorting this out and would be really really miffed if it came back...Sons GF thinks it is closed by the way.
    Do I tell her the truth and just get her to finalise and sign the letter of closure or leave it. (Son and GF do fall out frequently) and certainly while they are still a couple I dont want this to raise its ugly head again.*******
    Like I am not coming back in here there is more work to be done working as you can see on Mr & Mrs debts. All fetched about by me spending and hubby not objecting (god bless him):o. We are both though now fully on board on resolving this debt fast and hard then going to go for the mortgage... it is going to involve snowballing of big amounts and lots of hard work.
    Now wheres that stuff for ebay?????

    Hi all

    I'm a wee bit late as well but I would like to join. I also would love a payment a day but I know I couldn't keep track that well, so an extra payment a week sounds perfect.

    I know this week I'm really really skint but I'm goiing to join anyway:D

    Mr T credit card is in trouble as the plan is to clear him:D

    Welcome Munchin! I only joined recently but have increased the weekly payments to catch up with the others on here! good luck :)

    Debt Total: £12063:eek:
  • Hello everybody. I've been a bit quiet on here recently, totally unable to make any extra payments of any kind. Life has been very tough this month and at times I really didn't think we would make it to the end, however, I still have £6.05 in my purse and we both get paid on Friday :j. I'm really hoping that once we've been paid we're back on track and we can start attacking these debts. Keep up the good work everyone.

    Hi guys. Weekly skim of £3.53 managed today.
    Sorry to hear you have had a tough month Princesspoor. Hope things get a little easier for you soon.
    Gonna try and make "Olympic" effort over the next couple of weeks to increase payment if possible.
    Have a good weekend everyone.

  • Sorry I've been absent for a while. I wasn't able to make any extra payments and actually increased my balances due to last minute wedding spending.
    However, I've been given a payrise, and vow to get on with tackling my debts again.
    Must go and update my signature totals now (and give myself a shock at the same time no doubt!)
    Some habits never stopped, I'm pleased to say........I've still saved every £2 I got and all of my 20p's!
    Glad to be back!
