The Second Coming - CAFCGirls Debt Diary

Posts: 9,123 Forumite
Yes my friends it's round two!!!
I cant put into words how much my first debt diary saved me, in more ways than one, and the fantastic friends I made from it.
I'm a great believer that these debt diaries do more than keep a running total, they have made me cry, made me smile and made me laugh... sometimes all in the space of a single page!
Some people may remember the first, and some may not..... but here, today as of the 15th July 2007, I am a changed woman!
Following a fantastic favour from my parents, I was able to pay off all my debts (excluding overdraft 0%) :T :T
This would have taken me till May 2009 to achieve myself :eek:
So here it stands I currently owe my parents 4250 (was loaned 4500, first payment made 12th July
)....
This new debt diary will be all about paying back not only the financial assistance given to me by my parents,but also their emotional support over the years (all 23 of them) and to show them how lucky I am to have them as my parents.
It may be because its family, and not some faceless corporation, but I've got my mojo back with a vengence! My desire to pay back the money owed has never been greater than it is right now....
At my current rate of £250 per month to my mum's ISA (this lady has got her head screwed on!) I will be debt free as of December 2008!
So this is the story of how that goes, and how I can get that date any closer, by what means and what I've learnt along the way
I hope anyone that reads enjoys it, and again I have to say thankyou to each and every one of you for being there for me through the struggle and I just hope that someday I can give back to you, what you've all given to me!

Ooh, looking forward to the new diary. I am sure you could be rid of the loan before Dec 2008 if you really put your mind to it.
