Well i'm back
not done a great deal in the way of clearing some of the debt as been saving this month for our hols in a weeks time :cool: after a quick look today though i realised without any extra we over pay on 1 card by £50pm and another by £70pm have also managed to get our savings pots increased so now have the following;
CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY FUND £450 (this will become the christmas fund after our hols
)
EMERGENCY FUND £1670
WATER £20 (It's a start, just paid off the £205 water bill this month so will now start saving for the next one....)
CAR TAX/ MOT £110 (hoping to get this upto around £400 to cover mine and DH car for the year)
So that's where i'm at :T:T:T
