    Well logged on cc to pay to realise they have added interest !! Phoned and the outcome is that my account faulted and they will accept £1300 to settle account. It is coming in writing once it arrives I will ask my man to pay that will be my debt all gone on paper.

    What a long day head all over. I have been thinking of ways in which I can pay off my mum quicker once letter through and paid I will owe less than 3k I must get this paid off as quick as possible. Hate owing her money. My thoughts were to see if I can get another 2_3 hours a week more lessons then I could pay an extra 100 pound a month just need more hours in a day.
    Had parents evening both doing well DD is having problems with hearing and it is hard to get people to understand. She is quiet never asks for support but really needs more..

    Well money is very tight at the moment OH complaining about having to pay for holiday. He was getting well into paying his card off. He has paid half of holiday yesterday so not left much to pay.
    Don't think he likes the idea that I may be free before him lol. Paid my man a little money this week. It is hard as still no reply about DLA and still paying for DD s activities which is well over £100 a month!!
    Thought about my mortgage a little more I am hoping to be able to up payments in July 15 that is when I will be free of cc debt.

  • Hi Shinner,
    Sounds like you are having some ups and downs but overall it looks like you are doing really well and who ever gets their debt paid first is irrelevant it's the fact that you are both doing it that counts. Even if things are a bit tight you are still doing great! Remember that! Good on you both!! Sending some positive money saving vibes to you!!!

    I am actually really pleased he has changed his attitude towards money it really does help. It has taken me years to get him to take control of money I think he may finally be growing up.

    Downloading his bank app on his phone seems to have helped although when I did it he insisted he wouldn't use it :rotfl:
    Think he actually has started looking every other day lol.
