Hello everyone and well done on all the debt clearing this week! I have managed to pay £86 off my debt this week so new total £3801. I have managed to pick up quite a lot of work and so should be able to clear close to £1,500 by the end of April :j

Oh dear I am not doing very well. The money I have counted as paid off my college fees hasn't been paid due to some work done in the bathroom, my niece and nephews 18th and 21st birthdays (3 days apart:eek:) that I had forgotten were big birthdays this year and some general overspending on 'stuff'.
We started the month so well and I am annoyed with myself. My MOT is still to be paid for too:mad:
We havent increased our debt, just dipped into the emergency savings pot. Next month DH bonus is due so I will be topping the savings back up and clearing the college fees in full before I do anything else.
Some of the spends were on bits for the house and a fee to a company to arrange a regular cleaner:o If I have to stay in the house for the next 3 years miminmum then I need to maintain it better and I have so little time I spend my weekends doing nothing by shopping and housework when I would rather be spending quality time with my DS and DH. DH spent all Sunday cleaning and sorting out our bathroom.
Sorry bit off topic there:o
Well done to everyone paying chunks off their debt, big or small:)Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%

After a year of austerity and a few months of unadulterated carp we are finally getting lots of good news.
