Well snowball yesterday horrified me /gave me joy /confused me allat the same time it calculated cc free 21 months then looked at putting the snowball into mortgage and it can be cleared in the same time again .Think I'm gonna aim for cc free by 50 and mortgage free by 55 so 2018 and 2013 I'm actually excited by all this .Think since losing mum I can now concentrate on just me and mine ,she was never very good with finances always robbing peter to pay Paul ,that's not how i plan to live out the rest of my days I'm planning long term lets in the sun xshame its freezing and wet today have a good one ev1

Well nice cheque in the post today 362.00 ,its the remainder of mums life insurance policy .so feel better knowing thats the last of it dealt with . No more letters or phone calls . I paid all the extras for flowers ,food,minister,ect at the funeral The extra came to about £1200 and I think we have got about half that back so I am more than happy .x

Reread my earlier post and it seems a bit callous however i'm the youngest of 9 and some could contribute and some couldn't so i've decided to leave them all alone mum knew i would sort it all and i was just relieved that its all dealt with . Will tell the rest the insurance covered the full funeral ,that way no need to get into long discussions regarding the amounts ect .Think about my mum a lot and she was always having to rob peter to pay paul ,although we have debt of a different kind i feel very lucky to have two adults now in fulltime well paid jobs in this household .
