hello lovely people.

hi there,
ive had my LBM and want to get debt free, both myself and my husband have debts but he has not reached his LBM yet (for another thread- long story!!!!).
my debts are
MK REcoveries: £6,315.40
Nursery Bill: £1,869.07
Tax credits: £1,234.90
Mackenzie Hall: £1,157.98
Vodaphone: £718.54
Uni Loan: £600
SWW: £521.23
DCH: £409.08
Council Tax: £174.84
NHS overpayment: £34.06
Its a lot but I plan on getting it gone in 2 years!!
I also have made a promise to myself that I will NEVER take on commercial debt again. I will get a mortgage at a push but even then will try to save for a hefty deposit!
:) thanks for looking at my thread.
I hope everyone is well and doing well on their own debt free journey.:)
