  • Hi guys, slackers apology here but everything is on hold at the minute. I'm waiting to find out if I will be moving and therefore have not/can not touch a penny until then. The waiting is killing me but I hope to know by Wednesday. In the mean time I will pay all my bills later and update signature then. I have done my car insurance this morning and saved £140 so that's a plus. I'll be back on later, keep up the good work everyone.

    It seems like its been a while but I'm hanging on in here. Had a week off and a few extras like jazz shoes for DS1s Joseph performance next week plus I will need extra fuel for running him to the theatre an back but despite that I've taken £20 out of PayPal from eBay sales and paid straight off bcard. Need to make back the damn buildings and contents insurance I had to put on there :o

    Lightbulb moment Debt at August £32,400

    3 years till I'm forty would love to be debt free by then!
    We will do it!!!! :j
  • Just wanted to say, I had stopped making my extra payments for the bnpl straight to the catalogue as Ive had so many problems with it before (not going off the correct one etc) instead I have had a standing order set up for the amount split by paydays until due date, so the money was already there for it and I feel a bit of a fraud posting as I havn't had to 'find' the money for it. I have paid it to the catalogue account though so it is not sat in the bank. I must say though that since the last time I made a payment to a bnpl it has definitely changed for the better. Lol random ramble over

    Hello, loving the username (as of last week I can no longer ever wish to have one similar haha) welcome and get stuck in. We sometimes go a wandering or fall off the wagon but, like homing pigeons, we all flock back eventually. You are most welcome, come on in :beer:

    Thanks for doing this challenge Betty! Another £200 overpaid this week. Now down to the last £340 for my Barclaycard.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Have paid £14.73 towards Barclaycard to round that down. House move is a no no so time to knuckle back down. I hope to resurrect my diary soon too as it gave me a focus. Going to check accounts and see if i can make another payment.
