Hi everyone!
Slight set back of £41 on some 'new to us' leather sofas off Ebay. Been searching on and off since summer so quite pleased
Hoping to sort out some bits to sell to put towards the car debt as we currently have 0%! 1% is £21 and need 100% by October.

Today I overpaid the £115 plus another £35 from eBay and then £25 from me on the loan, making a total of £951 overpaid since December 2013.
Only £50 to go and that's £1000 extra paid off, pleased! Will get another balance then to see what difference it makes to the interest total.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Thats great Fedup!! Well done!! :j
We are just managing minimum payments ATM as had a lot to pay out with both cars. Speaking of cars, the big one just cost me £285 in road tax today :eek: Decided to do the yearly one as i dont want to have to find £156 in November for the bi-annual one, so tightening our belts this month instead and taking the hit!
Both cars are in need of tyres, i think 5 between them
and the small one needs a new radiator. Its all money, money i just dont really have. Think im going to get 2 of the worst tyres replaced with part worn ones so i dont get told off my the police! (yes they are that bad!)
Got a sewing job, a paid one, from my mum, but still! She wants me to make some bolster cushions that fit perfectly on her sofa and the inner aswell, out of the buckwheat kernels i have. Yay. love sewing, it doesnt feel like work - yet! Need to work out the costings yet.
Also pleased to say the radiators are now well and truly off!! :T
Hoping to have more to announce in June!!

Managed another 1% to cc this month which mean it's quarter paid off before the monthly payment on the 8th, the small extra payments are certainly making a difference. :jIt is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.Save 12k in 2025 No 18 365 1p challenge 2025 No 20
