Claire's DFW mission

OMG I haven't posted here for years!! I'd like to report that I am debt free but that would be a big fat lie :rotfl:

I now only have one debt which is a £10k loan. I took this out to pay off all of my credit card debt, overdraft and car loan. My overall debt has therefore stayed the same since I last posted here two years ago!! :eek: On the plus side having the debt all in one place is useful to me and makes it feel more manageable. The monthly payment is supposed to be £145 a month but I am hoping to make £400-£500 a month in payments. The term of the loan is a very scary 10 years but I am hoping to be done in 2 years. I'll keep that updated in my signature.

So what's changed? Well I've been inspired by watching lots of Dave Ramsey debt free screams on youtube - I am not religious but I like some of what he says. Also my kiddies are quite a bit bigger now so I am out of that baby brain fuzz stage and back to being able to add up and see beyond the next feed. :T

I am feeling smug.
I made a meal plan then I went to tesco.com and placed an order to arrive next week. This was a couple of nights ago. The order was £98 :eek: Anyway I then went back into that last night and switched out some stuff to make it £88.
Still not content tonight I used mysupermarket to price up for Aldi. The things I can't get from there I have left on my Tesco order. So I am now going to be spending £47.28 in Aldi and £25.19 in Tesco = £ £72.47 in total :T That's more like it!
