    Im not fussed who sees my posts or that i am fighting that much debt, i am just going to avoid mentioning specific figures. I know i will be debt free as soon as possible, i am putting everythig towards it to the point i feel there is next to nothing else i can do to make the debt free date come quicker.

    Still allowing myself an entertainmet budget, i suppose that is the only thing i could cut out but i dont need to. I am 6 short months away from my lovely debt free date!! Then il stick around and be a lurker to remind myself not to get back into debt as i dont think there is a worse situation to be in, knowing your first X hundred pound a month you earn is going straight to some lazy bankers big xmas bonus or pension.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    hey rictus, would you like me to take your totals off the first post or just your name? You can always PM me your new totals so I can add it to the monthly update of debt paid? I'm really please you're sticking around xxx

    Just remove my total paid, leave my name and amount to be paid. I will just announce when i am very close to being debt free so i can get motivated on for the final steps to freedom. I will let you know once i have paid off £10k. That will mean less than £5k less to pay off.

    Rictus, I'm glad you decided to hang about with but chewed that you feel you can't put this in the open because of some crazy stalker.

    Well done was going great for me, took kid to karate and after a massive break for us both we're both back part time at least, worked out when we can so I don't have to pay parking!

    Came home and was locked out because I'd forgotten to take the house keys! Finally got in then husband had a confession. He'd checked his online banking and clicked a few buttons and now had been approved for a 7k loan which was sat in his bank!

    So glad it's pay all my debts by Christmas, so he has agreed to repay his loan, we finally get a tv as the other one looks like an old one with the tubes warming up.

    Even went shopping however couldn't buy anything and didn't want anything buying. By saving grace little one had stomach ache so came quick sharp! Having said that he's agreed to help with some of the household bills which means I have and extra £36 a month.

    How's everyone else day been.

    Ruth how's the family taken it?
