    Pricing up our holiday at the moment - getting very excited! We were going to go away early next year, but it's £300 less to go in October, so we'd be daft not to... Can't believe the price differences you get :eek:

    DH has a BIG birthday in November so we were planning a family holiday to celebrate. But it was so expensive (think christmas) that we are now going in January for half the price!:eek: ridiculous

    Hello all :wave:

    I am so sorry I haven't been on to update recently, things have obviously been hectic with three kiddies :eek:

    Basically we are still about £50k in debt on top of our mortgage. We have just about enough to pay min payments and live but nothing to overpay until I go back to work. Seriously considering either a DMP or moving to a cheaper area.

    Hope you are all keeping well, I will check the front page now and rea back as far as I can :)

    Well done to all of you busting your debt :T:T:j:j

    Got paid today and immediately cleared some of my outgoings so I can see what I am left with for the rest of the month. My rent wasn't due till the 25th but I transferred it today - let my landlord worry about his own accounts.
    So far this month I contributed £100.42/£1500

    Let's see how my frugal living will go and I should hopefully be able to offset what's left of my salary just before next payday.

    Another £90 Paid off my debts as a regular payment, New updated figures below

    Updating whenever a payment goes out is really helping me keep motivated! As sad as it seams its in a spreadsheet and calculated all I want to know based on the small chunk of 7k urgent priorities and then the 15k of other debt I want to pay off before christmas!

    Hi there


    I hope you're all well.


    I've decided that I need to rethink my priorities and focus on different bills. I need to be realistic and know that I'm not really going to manage paying off the £11,900 I originally wanted to at the beginning of the year. My circumstances have changed and I'm not on the same road as I was a matter of weeks ago. Some of the bills I wanted to clear this year are to my folks, as much as they would like the money back, they don't want me stressed out and worried all the time. I can pay them back as and when possible.
    Therefore, I would like to change my payment aim total if possible please? It was £11,900 and I would like to change it to £7,365 please. I would like to keep the total of payments already made the same as I have made the payments and have removed one large bill payment but have added another.
    I hope this all makes sense.
    Thank you.
    I will update my signature too.

    A vision without a plan is just a dream.

    I'm feeling really agitated today... I've sold nearly £300 this week of job lots on eBay and not one person has paid yet, the vast majority of
    It went yesterday so I hope that will get paid today..

    I need that money as I had to borrow From The shopping budget to pay united utilities and the business loan this week and were having to shop day by day And I have the credit card merchants due there money by the end of next week..

    If people bid on things last minute why don't they pay there and then! Bugging me
