    Well thrown 165 pounds at this debt last couple of days.

    Total debt now stands at 3470.00.

    Sorry short post need to escape the office at 12. My locks are being cut, full of flu would prefer to just crawl back into bed and save the money. However I need to smarten myself up, not sure about red nose.;-)

    Happy to report now paid off 10K in total wow that feels so good. Well 10k and 1 pounds hehe.:dance:

    Debt now stands at 3038.00


    So much happier for the weekend, next target to get under 3k and clear cc1 by 1st June.

    So perhaps not a wild weekend for me again this week but will relax my debt busting in June.
    Got grandson around for snuggles after work, haven't seen him for well over a week. Bless him phoned me up crying last night said he missing me, he has had scarlet fever. A wee drink with a friend later if my finances will allow.

    Have a great weekend folks.

    Booked a mini break around the Cotswolds and Somerset next month. Excited to have something to look forward to. Only need to pay couple nights accomodation, lets just say ace to have relatives who live in nice places:)

    After that will be back saving hard and debt busting. Would like a foreign holiday soon. Just need to stop spending :D

    Spoke too soon abba. Had some work done on the house and also been spending lately somehow added 2107.00 to my total.:eek:

    Last week managed to pay off 451.76 and returned a dress 31.20:T

    :(Now my debt stands at 3983.04. :(:(

    Looking on the bright side got it back under 4k and my house looks perfect no holes in the ceiling in the hall anymore.:)

    To repay it by xmas looking unlikely but will try to give it my best shot.

    A bit gutted but feel happier house and car in good state of repair even if my finances aren't.

    Today paid off 8.80. Debt now stands at 3974.24.

    I realise that I need to make payments of 663.84 each month to clear by xmas. Stopping listening to so called friends which tell me to live for today - I prefer to clear my debts than spend on cc.

    My downfall is spending on them and attemping to clear balance each month. Getting hidden for emergencies only now.

    Taken out new Home Insurance today 80.99 with BGas compared to 132.00 with sainsbobs and I should get 24.80 back from Quidco as well.

    I need new smoke alarms now that Fire Service don't give them out anymore will have to spend.

    Just ignore your friends so you need to live the quiet life whilst you tackle your debt.......it's not forever and once your debt free you can spend your cash on whatever you want rather than sorry when your next debt repayment is due xx
