    I've paid £200 off my kitchen today. I'm expecting a bonus from work in my next lot of wages so hoping to clear it off completely. Fingers crossed!

    Its been a long time since I posted, spent nearly 6 month turning my business around since ebay chucked us off, and now despite turnover being lower than I would like, we are making more profit than ever :D

    overpaid on the agreement with the mortgage company for the arrears today, hopefully if we have our way and takings stay as they are we will have that paid off in 3 weeks, and then its onto the credit card and clear other arrears balances...

    Letter has arrived at mums house re sofas (I have not yet updated address whoops) and looks like the last payment is this month! Wahey! An extra £50 to chuck into the car pot. On a side note I'm going to have to save an extra £300 a month on average to be able to pay this car off when the final payment is due in September. Not sure I'll be able to do that:eek:

    Finally an update. So far this month and a few of last months payments I forgot to update is £404.

    Total for the year so far is #36 £506/5084.82 9.95%

    I do have one more regular payment to come out and hopefully an extra one of two so I hope to break the 10% barrier.
