    Hey all, I've not been on very much lately, but I am still paying off debt if only little by little. It's been a tough few months, and this payday and next months payday will be hard as they won't be very much! (I'm on maternity leave and end of July's will be basic SMP = £153 a week). Obviously I have savings but hoping not to have to spend all of it. I've still been paying off my CC though and actually paid a bit off despite being on Maternity. When I go back at the end of July and get paid fully then hopefully I can pay more off, but quicker! (No spending the extra cash anymore!!) :)
    ANYHOW,
    #084 £1000/£4000 = 25%!
    Former Debt free wannabe. Now trying to save for a rainy day!

    Have a bit of a breather and start again next year. Well done.
  • Congratulations AMR - getting there.


    I've taken a bit of a detour on this. I've reduced my card debts by taking out a loan I know it defeats the object but the interest is lower, it will be paid of quicker and I get to decorate the house up to sell it. So £3500 paid off cards. So some adjustments to make. For now on this I have paid £3500 off my cards So the plan is to get this all paid by the end of July then focus on the loan next.
