Morning plmbl.
Thanks for mentioning hygiene items for the food bank, its not something I had thought of donating, I usually buy tinned or dry goods, but will definitely buy some shampoo or sanitary items next time.
I have my fingers and toes crossed for you regarding the £2000. I really hope the letter is correct.
Take care.x.0 -
Or, dare I say this here,
Have a holiday. The debt busting is going well and I don't think you're paying interest???

Totally agree with this post, it was the first thing that came into my head was to go on holiday, If anyone deserves a well earned break it's you.0 -

Wow so many visitors! Thanks everyone for stopping by!
We will definitely do something holiday wise with some of the money. Our debts are 0% until August so will pay off at least what will be left on there then after normal monthly payments. Again, trying not to get too excited but it's really hard!!!!
Took the boys swimming this morning and then Mum and Grandma called in for a bit. Nice chilled day. Off to do the ironing and spoil it now!! XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
