So here goes another diary...
How we started off with a debt figure of over £58k, I'll save that story for another day. 5 years later and we are down to around £15k. I say around, because as you can tell, my focus has gone.
Time to get it back again and kick the backside of this debt for good. Life has changed for us a lot since 2008 with our income reducing to a third of what is was.
However, life is good and it goes to show you don't need money to make you happy. So time to start pick, pick, picking away at the debt.
Would love some support...

No strategy as such at the mo. we have the remaining £12,643. ( worked it out now) on a loan and will make the monthly payments but build up an extra pot to hopefully pay it off early.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
