Well I've been away from these boards for quite a while, and it's done me no favours, so now I'm back.
I only have the one debt, a loan, which today stands at £2728.03.
But it is costing me £135.18 a month which I cannot afford.
Looking to buy a house with the OH over the next few months as we are now also expecting our first child (all being well due in August) so money is going to be extremely tight.
So I'm searching for inspiration and ways to find plenty of extra cash to throw at debt and savings.
I'm starting the sealed pot challenge on Jan 1st that I will open when the baby is born, hopefully will then have a few extra pence when my maternity pay drops to SMP after the first 6 weeks.
Thanks in advance to any who offer advice.
