    I really need to update details on one of my bank accounts and close the other, it's just a case of having time to do it!

    Once my tcb and ebay money clears I'll be throwing a hundred quid at one of the debts, might as well get it paid off quicker

    Ok, we found a permanent flat now, and signed leases last night. I have ordered broadband, but unfortunately we won't have internet until the 12th of September. I will try to figure out a way to keep on top of any updates, but hope you can all bear with me for a few weeks!

    Unless someone wants to take on updates for a few weeks?

    I hope you went via Quidco for the cashback deals?

    Total debt went up again (I mentioned this on an earlier post) by £109 thanks to meal out and some emergency petrol spend. Paid it all off again though and £200 on the other card. Managed to breach 2/3rds of my debt now :)

    Total this month = £2979.23/£4449.23 66.96%

    £40 off my loan this week so now stand at £940/£2500

    Money has been REALLY tight this month and next month isn't looking too good either :-( Had to add another £100 to my credit card, however I'm hoping to pay that off plus another bit when I get paid next week.

    Really hope things start to work out here as I'm starting to panic a bit now:(
