    Well P, you are not really gatecrashing a challenge - isn't the whole point of this board to pay off our debts??

    As for being female.......are you saying that I am having an identity crisis as well as all my other problems :confused: It is not an excuse Missy!! You are not even blonde.......:D

    Right, first one down to £35k/25k buys the coffees :j

    Have now done 5 reclaim letters and about to do the mortgage one. It will be costing me £50 for statements all in, so I hope it is a worthwhile investment!!

    Thanks hypno,I couldn't quite believe the total when i saw it :D we haven't paid that much off,so don't know how it's reduced to that amount :confused: have spoken to Payplan and they insist it's right,so I'm not arguing ;) :j we did pay them £3.5k a couple of weeks ago,but that wouldn't have reduced it that much :rolleyes:

    :D

    Hypno - would I be able to join the challenge too? I'm involved in quite a few at the mo, but I think this is a more long term one isn't it.

    I'm not sure what to aim for. I'd love sub £30K by the end of the year, but am not sure if this is a little high to aim for.

    hi Hypno. sorry for the female thing, will take my slap on the wrist while thinking of another excuse for my stupitidy!!:rotfl: :rotfl: must be having a silly day today!:D
    OK so DH is home, quickly grab him, tie him to a chair leaving just his lower arms free and place laptop beneath fingers!! Good luck with getting stuff on ebay, and welldone with the letters!

    Right you are warned that the following contains lots of expletives.....


    :mad: &%$$$£@*****%$£££"@@@***:mad: &***&^%%$$£"***@@@@@:mad:

    Took my eye off the ball for a tinsy winsy time and as a result have not been on top of things (as you know for many reasons) and the upshot is that our debt has increased by £1087 :mad:

    So, my DFD according to the snowball has increased by 2 months.....

    I have updated my signatures to shame myself into checking everything daily again.

    Whats more, and most galling of all, is that Seaxwyn is even closer by default (unfortunate use of word there) to reaching £35k before me.

    I am shocked, angry, upset, all those usual things. But if a kick up the bum is what I need, then this is certainly it.

    Oh Hugs to you.
    How very dispiriting.

    I wish I could say something something positive and uplifting such as you say to so many others in such an encouraging way.
    .
    So kick yourself, get back up and hope that OH earned £1K in overtime going in on his precious holiday?
