Happy new year!
Sorry I have not posted, without sounding like a b.... I just wanted a break... and I did overspend etc but I had a lovely time off with my son and ready to be back at it! I am waiting on a cheque to clear and then paying £400 to my mum and dad making it down to £1,250 I owe them and only three more payments. Then I can pay off my overdraft asap and be free of debt minus the biggie of mortgage obv!:P
Hope all are wellxx
We all need a break sometimes, it's good to recharge the batteries and get a new perspective on things.
You're so close to the end of the parental loan, that's fantastic.
The OD will be gone in no time after that.
You're doing great hun, glad DS is much better too xx0 -

Sorry you didn't get a good sleep - it really affects your whole day being unrested. I only had about 5 hours last night, but that was my own doing because I was up late then up at 5.30am for the gym so I'm knackered now and it's not even lunchtime!
You're going great guns paying your parents back - it'll soon be gone and you can shift your focus.Sealed Pot Challenge 075
Pay off by Xmas 2019 #02 - target £10,0000
