Starting married life getting debt free....

Options
Hi

I've been lurking in the debt free wannabe section for a while and have finally plucked up the courage to start my own diary!

Between us my OH and I owe about £15,000 (oh I feel a little sick reading that!) We get married next week and we have both decided that getting debt free as soon as possible is what we need and want to do.

The debt isn't coming from the wedding but has accumulated from years of spending frivolously and large (and expensive!) house repairs that we urgently needed done.

Will be back later once kids are in bed, just wanted to get my diary started! :T
