    I just paid my outstanding commission off my catalogues so have got my debt total below £14,000.. *grin*.. that feels SO good!!! I am still considering a loan for £15,000 over 12 months.. I'm certain I'd still be paying out less per month than I am at the moment plus I would be rid of all the debts at once without extending the length of time I pay them over AND decreasing the interest rate on the majority of them... I'll have paid them all off by the time I decide to do this lol.

    Best do some flying before you all think I am wasting my time here!!

    DH has put a couple of shelves up in the garage so we are making slow but steady progress in there. He is now preparing the french doors for painting. He hopes to start his new job in 3 weeks so now has the push needed to finish off the jobs:T

    Hi all. This flylady routine is really working for me and I am so glad I found this thread!
    Today was a bit of a slow one for me. I think being 25 weeks pregnant and gutting the kitchen, then the lounge has really taken it out of me.

    Well done pigpen for clearing so much debt. I cannot wait until mine is under £14,000 (currently double that :confused: )
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Anyone else feeling like they just can't be bothered?

    Had the OT in and for some reason it always makes me feel sleepy! Maybe because there is someone else entertaining sodapop for 45mins and not me?! Not even two mugs of coffee has woken me up. AND, the weather is horrid!

    Have wet washing sitting on my coffee table to go over radiators
    kitchen needs a tidy
    so does living room
    master bedroom is disgusting

    anyway... maybe some Pink will put me in the mood eh?

    Hippychick.. I left my original debt total on there to remind me how high it was.. I WILL have it all paid off if it kills me!! I do feel a loan for £10,000 to clear the majority and then deal with the no/low interest stuff seperately woul dbe better than struggling to pay everyone every month it would get it all into 2-3 payments which I could better deal with I think.. plus paying off a lump sum might mean I can get away with paying off it all.. you can only try! I just don't trust myself and think the very last thing I need is a whopping loan payment on top of more debt.. so I sit and watch and pay it all monthly lol.

    Tiamai.. the weather is beautiful here.. we've had sunshine for days.. it's hard to remember that 5 weeks ago we were under feet of water!!!

    Hi All

    Well all the washing's done and I've done some ironing although there's still plenty left for DH to do tonight.

    I've cleaned the floor in the kitchen, including pulling the fridge and freezer out and cleaning underneath them. I've also done an inventory on what we've got in the freezer - I think we can feed ourselves for about 2 months!

    I keep trying to come up with ideas on how I can I can finish work after all the mither I've had but I'm struggling to see how I can even with the huge paydrop I'm having to have anyway. I think I'll have to wait until I get another job!

    Anyway I'm just going for a walk down to the shop with the kids then it will be time for me to get ready for work!

    See you tomorrow

    Pigpen - go girl you are doing fab with your repayments!

    Not actually started yet although bedlinen is now on the line. Just been checking all bank accounts and going to do insurance right now. Think whilst it is quite here I will do a bit of desk sorting - I have piles on my piles!

    Well done pigpen, and to all those doing so much of their lists.

    Still havent made a list but I'm in the right room, have been flinging in the hotspot called our bedroom! Pigpen have sympathy with me DD has made me throw away shoes :eek: - 5 pairs (ok I never wore them but people collect shoes) and she says i've still got 44 pairs left (shoes boots and sandals etc!)

    Anyway dont know why she's moaning at me, I started buying her holiday stuff back in March and when I looked yesterday she has 7 new pairs of shoes/sandals/flip flops for her holiday.

    Well have finished filling me face again so off to do some more. Might add music this time as only me and DD here :D
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
