Hi everyone,

I've tried writing a diary before under a different name, but never really took it seriously! This time is different though.

I've just read Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey & it's opened my eyes to how much money we've actually wasted over the years! We owe just over £30k in unsecured debt at the moment, as well as our mortgage.

We've already got step one sorted out, which is £1k in an emergency fund, so now baby step 2, which is create the debt snowball, the first one I'm gonna blitz is a cc with the post office which has just over £4k outstanding on it. Wish me luck! :j

    Hi again
    Sorry but realised I've put this post in the wrong place, hopefully I'll be in here soon enough to clear my mortgage! Fingers crossed! x
