    Time for an update!!!

    I am currently in Florida... Wow it's amazing!!! And I am now 26 as of Thursday.
    I was panicking about March money due to changing jobs but turns out I got paid from both woooppppaaa!!

    Looking forward to getting back and getting on the case with clearing my debt!!! I almost have my £1000 emergency fund now :)
    Also I have barely bought anything over here so may even come back with money to pay debt back. :)

    Thanks maryland cookie,
    Staying in Davenport which is a short journey from most of the parks. Lovely here I would happily move here!!

    I still got paid less than a months wage at my new job, so I am really looking forward to 26th April for a proper pay :)

    I am so excited to update my progress.... although i have been quiet I have just paid off my car insurance for the next year.... i have never been able to do that, so although my emergency fund is no longer as high... I think I am still making progress.

    I paid £50 extra to my loan.... i know thats not huge but I am paying £239 per month too! I get my first full pay from my new job on 24th April so I am going to aim to pay £200 extra to my loan and also stash some into emergency fund for my MOT which is due in june along with car tax.

    Our mortgage saving fund is looking good... almost at £6000 and we only started last year!
    Now florida is done I can fully focus on this debt!! :)

    As of tomorrow I am fully concentrating on my survey sites again, and starting to save the vouchers for xmas!! :) Any paypal cash from surveys will now go to my loan :)

    Feeling really positive at the moment, once this loan is gone I am debt free :) eeeeek.
