Well been away from the rain back to earth with a bump ,Long chat with hubby on last night of holiday re level of debt ,to be honest added up its less tham most of my friends mortgages but I DONT CARE ...he doesnt even open his statements it does my head in that aman who does budgets for work doesn't here . Well pub every friday and sat is kaiboshed is that even how you spell that haha . Anyhow we have no purchases needed clothes or otherwise in the next six months kids have been told so net flix and the 1990 drink stash will be our weekends since both are free and I actually checked the food before buying .
He didnt even say anything this time just agreed we have two years before dd goes to uni this must be sorted . Happy Sunday folks x

Well Sunday update ,my biggest fear with the debt was always one of us getting sick and not being able to work or worse die on the other one leaving them financially !!!!ed.
So last week decided on consolidation loan as we are paying to high interest on cc to clear them ,so loan will be 238 amonth which frees up 60 a month for the cc that is interest free till july and only has 2600 on it .so will pay 300 a month starting thismonth to clear it .
Oh has two cc which he has rattled with holidays and uni fees so as soon as cc number two cleared we will use this money to start paying double payments to his cc think i can debt bust the extra two in two years .
Food shopping lixdl and farmfoo massive savings still need dog food ,toilet paper and razors but total for week and those items make it a dear one 100 so very happy .
Unfortunately on the get sick line dh is wearing a 24hr bp and needs 24 hr ecg due to stress well theres a !!!!ixx suprise .
He is a quiet man personally as a nurse i think gp is being hopeful that its stress but i did the ecg and it looks physiological rather than psychological .how do you ask his parents re f/history without raising alarm bells .
Oh well he was already on board regarding the debt busting he is just more so now.
Tidied round my lovely garden yesterday couldnt figure out why i was so sore last night in bed then remembered the weeding ,physical exercise is good for stress .
Happy sunday folks ohh thats dh awake and footsteps mean he is breathing x

Well my determination is not making my oh happy he agreed on last night of holiday and on return that i could open ,check balances on his cc ,and work out to our solution to this crisis as i believe our money situation is a large part of his stress resulting in his current health worry .we both have good money coming in and if we both wind our necks in the family will be better off overall . So I decide to open statements today as they have been there since Thursday and still unopened ,there are no real surprises in the balance ,interest is higher than he said and I am now recieving a lecture in privacy well tough enough is enough if we aint got it we aint spending it .
I have snowballed today and we can be cc free in 24 months and loan free in 36 with £200 clear a week for food and fun so if I stop wasting food in the kitchen they will ea the crap in the freezer and no extras will be bought we can either add to a cc or go for a pint sounds god to me .He has contributed stopping dd for tv internet stuff and swapping electric think he just didnt want to admit to balances as they stand .Well I dont care 1st of Nov the new snowball payments are being made .Think I might end up here daily for a while

Happy weekend folks well loan has cleared and cc 1 which was accruing interest at a terrible rate is now being paid in loan form ,cc closed shut gone .will contact re other card and increase payment ,feels great .have been offered another loan which im tempted to take for oh cc will finish sorting mine first then start jigging his .happy weekend folks its a wet one here x
