Hi
Little update, we had a week of from work last week, and got lots of little jobs done around the house, one small issue, the fence finally decided to fall down :rotfl:so we are having to replace it, on the plus side we have been doing so well that we can afford to replace it without affecting our DFD which is great :T
So another % paid of and a few more payments to come later in the month, all looking good.

So, been a while since I last updated, lots going on. Realised that OH still has a loan to pay of that I had forgotton about for £1600, not sure how I missed it, think I go so focused on the cards I just forgot. As he is paying interest on this, and we are not paying interest on the cards, we are going to pay this off this month and next, on the plus side it will then free up another £80 per month.We are trying to sell our campvan, the idea is to replace with a caravan, as it will be cheaper to run, and if we sell we will have money left over which can go towards the debts which would be great so fingers crossed. Health wise I am struggling, the orignal plan was to get the debts paid of and then go part time, but it's getting more and more difficult to work full time, so we have decided to see if my company will let me go part time, this will mean it takes longer to pay of our debt, but as it's all on interest free cards now (or will be when OH Loan is paid) it won't cost us any more, and my health is more important. If work are ok with this, we would be debt free by the end of the year (quicker if camper van sells) so still not bad. Just crossing my fingers now, that work will agree, going to try to get some time with my boss next week to discuss, so here's hoping. FaeLBM 29/10/2013 £14,218.00 As of 13/04/2014 £6477.00
