    amr - I have decided to join a gym. Don't do it I hear you say :)

    Well it's only the council run one so it won't break the bank. Besides i'm sooooooo bored at home. All my friends are in another city. I've just broken up with ANOTHER guy and I don't really have many interests, plus I need to meet some new people too. :beer:
    In debt no more!

    I go to the gym to stave off boredom too. I have to justify my membership though and go a minimum of 6 times a month (harder than it sounds some months!). If you're looking to meet people, exercise classes are the best way, it's the only way to guarantee you, and they, will be there at the same time :rotfl:

    The OH made me sign up to the gym, I hate it. Maybe I should try to go a bit more often, although it's only £16 a month.

    We've just sorted out our holiday, we're taking the ferry to france for £60 each with our bicycles and cycling around Cherbourg/Normandy. We've got most of the kit, and can use whatever we buy for future excursions on weekends and things. Really looking forward to it :)

    Hi all

    New total for me is....

    £2658.33/£16971.38 15.66%

    Have got a cheque from Egg to pay in today for £432 for PPI so excited about that- will bring us under £14k! Lots going on too, we have sold our flat and are moving out 24th May to my mums. Have out a deposit down on a new build which will be ready July! Sooooo excited! is looking likely that we will have to pay our credit cards with the equity from our flat as mortgage companies won't give us the mortgage we need unless we don't have this debt :( Feel like its a bit of a cheat to pay it off this way although am really looking forward to being debt free and overpaying the mortgage!

    We will save loads whilst being at my mums so hopefully will have paid off loads more before using the money we get from sale. Plus we get our bonuses in 4 weeks :)

    Am off to research removal companies today. We have soooo much stuff! Going to put a few things on Gumtree as well.

  • morning all :)

    I feel a bit like i've been in limbo the last week waiting for the balance transfer to go through. i couldnt do the planned £1500 as it would only let me have 90% of available balance, so 1300 instead, but better than nothing.

    so here goes
    £1823.98 to K&Co
    £1669.21 to Barclaycard
    £1450.94 to Halifax
    £853.09 to Capital one

    grand total time

    #168 0.00/5797.22

    lets get debt busting, cant wait to register my first percent :D
