    This sum is now winging its way across to OH card 1

    Thank you katieandlee

    well good news is that OH work arranged for the underpayment to be paid urgently so that is now in the bank :D

    Update of debt as at 30.09.12

    Debt Balance at 30.09.12
    My Cat £381.95
    OH Card 1 £3,348.13
    My Card 1 £3,910.00
    OH Card 2 £4,895.00
    My Card 2 £1,636.00
    OH Card 3 £1,900.00
    O/D £0.00 :T:T:T:T:T:T
    Loan £13,441.43

    Total debt now £29,530.51
    of which
    £16,089.08 is C/C debt

    Thats a £1,499.14 reduction overall and £836.09 on the credit cards.
  • So aims for October are:
    To clear 10% of overall debt - total needs to be below £27,926.68
    and to get c/c debt under £14k

    I will pay off £1k on monday to OH card 1 and hopefully another £500 - £600 at the end of the month.
  • Plan on having a lazy day today.
    and a NSD also as i dont plan on leaving the house :D

    I have just built a fort for the kids in the living room and they are happily playing in there.
    I will provide a picnic lunch for them to eat in there also.
    That should keep them occupied and quiet for a few hours :D

    I am going to browse the diaries :) and then do some studying :(

    Shattered today.

    Busy in work with month end stuff.

    Should have been a NSD today but silly me forgot to take my coffee in with me. I can't cope without coffee :) (i normally take in a little jar of coffee and have some sweeteners in work and just take in a little milk. Very MSE), so i ended up buying 3 cups £1.22 in total :)

    Tomorrow wont be a NSD either as I need to pick up wrapping paper to wrap up DS2 birthday pressie.

    Today i made a payment of £1350 to OH card 1. balance is now below £2k :j
    and i should be able to pay off a little more at the end of the month if nothing major comes along.
