Hi all,
So excited and had to share with someone (husband not answering phone)
I budget that I get 1200 each month and was dreading getting my payslip as I didn't think that my staff earned that much bonus last month.
Just came through and it's £400 more than expected. Guess where that money is going!!! On a well deserved holiday!!!!
Just kidding, looking at what I can pay off debt wise now. Yay!!!!!:T :rotfl:

Not sure which to clear to be honest however I have not seen how much my hubby is being paid yet. We budget £1300 for him but anything that he earns over this up to £1400 goes on debts and then anything over that he gets to keep the rest for himself.
So at the minute I have approx £500 extra, but we are having a car boot on Sunday-loads of cds to sell and I am awaiting some funds from ebay as well. So I could possible have between 600-700 to pay off something.
Thinking I may clear capitalone (10.4%) and barclaycard (currently 0% but will go up to 17.9% in a few months. I could then cancel the cap 1 card.
The debt will then be under £75k. Over £1000 cleared in first month of moneysaving. I love my staff and the bonus that they earn me.0 -
