    Hi everyone :) Hope you're all well.

    Had a lot of hassle with the estate agents today (supposed to be moving house next week!), which has put me in a horrible mood. But on the positive side, paying £70 off the credit card tomorrow and also going shopping with my OH to buy him some new clothes because I don't think he's actually bought any for years :p
  • I have had a good day!

    No payments as such but....

    I have mangaed to get £290 knocked off my mortgage arrears by sending a fax with my home insurance schedule! Cant believe I never noticed I was being charged for insurance as well as the mortgage....DUH! I am working on getting another £500 knocked off but it looks slim!

    Sold a bag on fleabay, £20. Had a refund for a duplicate gift for £17.50 aslo fleabay.

    Signed up for 2 online bingo accounts for me and the OH via topcashback and got a total of £90 cash back (not paid yet). I played with the sign up bonuses and ended up by £75 and have now withdrawn the money and wont go on again! A total of £165 free money! Whoop whoop!

    When the money lands I will pay it off the debts!!!!

    :( Trying hard...failing miserably :(

    Paid off £181 so that is £352 paid off in total.

    What is the best way to inform the person updating how much I have paid? Should I give it as a complete total or just the amount I have paid off since the last time I updated?

    Thank-you.

  • Any chance I can join?

    My debts total £4,377.40 at the moment. Hoping to have cleared that off by the end of the year!

    There is a post somewhere with the requested layout... But I think it's your number, total paid off and total debt eg: #67 £400 / £6492.82 but big and bold so it's easy to spot :)

    Welcome back suzitiger! Starting to worry about all the regulars disappearing!
    In debt no more!
  • Have you seen? (Am I a bit late to the party??)

    A couple of NSDs for me, although today I took my latest ebay items to the post office - I suppose that counts as a NSD as other people paid for the postage :)

    Going to move some money around now and do a payment I think..

    Keep going everyone!
