    Hi all, I hope everyone has had a good week, just closed down my store card account yay it felt so good

    Slightly panicking cos I have just remembered I have some clothea to return to next which I had put in the wardrobe out of the way the other week, and you only have 14 days to return them eek, need to get them out now if I can do it without wakin OH up and take them to in laws when I take the kids round in 20 minutes, they can be returned at the corner shop next to in laws so mil can do it for me today.

    Had my electric meter changed last Thursday slight panic cos I hadn't done a meter reading for two weeks and I forgot to do one before they came (I was at work when they did it) but I got onto edf chat yesterday and thankfully the meter changer person had given them one phew lol as they new meter started at 0

    Last week of full time work this week yay lol, dying for my payslip this month although I only have one day overtime on, we also won team of the month for January so the £50 payment for that should be on this pay as well

    I hope everyone has a good day xx

    Just got my payslip for this month, I have £200 extra woo hoo, can't wait till payday then all that £200 is going straight off CC10, I did the snowball calc the other day cos I wanted to write down the months it said I would pay each one off so I knew when we paid each one off just how early we had managed to do it, and I think from memory CC10 isnt due to be paid off till December 2017 or 2018, NO WAY and I going to let that happen!!!!! I am aiming for this December for that one if I can, I haven't done all the calcs to see if I can actually do that lol but I should get £200 extra at least on the end of April pay as well so by end of April I will have it down to at least £1495

    Hi!

    Well done on the extra pay!

    I think if it were me I'd pay it off your store card or CC8 just to get closer to getting rid of them. The balance on them is quite low and you could snowball your payments then.

    How are you getting on working the extra days? I'm thinking of going from a 2 day to 3 day in September.
