  • Your debt Elly is like ours 8 years ago, when it's May 2014 we'll have paid off £52,000 !!! This is the hardest year yet to keep up with the payments probably as wages are hit & miss, but I am determined to keep paying the DMP. Good luck with it all xx

    we cant go dmp because of jobs ,hopefully will be sooner if we get some balance transfers have to say 2013 is working so far for me a lot of positive vibes .i have 10 weeks to change all the payments over ,we also have 2 ppi claims so might get lucky there as well ,feels better having done the snowball calculator could leave the 2 loans to run but really just want rid and to have savings for a rainy day . Another year th and yours will be gone it will be a fantastic feeling and well worth the plodding chin up heid doon as we sayx
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
