    Very similar position to us as we have 1 cc on 0% too. I'm forgetting about that for now and concentrating on the loan. Fingers crossed family say yes.

    I also use Noddle for credit score. It's free so worth a look if you aren't already aware.

    Sign up to Clear Score as well as it's also free - they reflect Equifax, whilst Noddle reflects Call Credit.

    Thank you all, will do that today if i get chance..

    Got 100 points on Ips0s today so hit another £10 payout and am@zon voucher requested.

    Finally over £20 on 1poll.. p-base very slow at the mo.

    Wages in and there was £19 more than expected so need to allocate that.

    Conversation being had today re family loan, but sounding positive.

    Cold and cough kept me up half the night!

    Been out this morning, got DS's hair cut, sold a £15 bag which I promptly spent on the haircut and a dress for DD from a selling page. Also got two boxes of hair dye to inflict on myself at half term, giving up on the hairdresser as I want to grow it anyway, plus I just can't afford it.

    Family have agreed to the loan, so should get it next week will pay off CC1 and CC4. Will put the amount up for the everyday CC. Have promised to repay by Christmas 2017, so that is it, we have an absolute debt free date set in stone.

    We will delay the Disney holiday and have agreed to massively focus on clearing it by then. Loose agreement to pay back £1k each quarter which I've budgeted for, so an extra £1k to find over the two years as well as paying off CC3 and the everyday CC which will become CC5..

    All of these CC's will get closed as well as I go along, except for CC4 which I've had forever and will keep as an emergency one.

    Right off to update the signature!

    Good to read loan sorted. You're so well organised and focussed :T

    Should save a small fortune colouring hair yourself - I do the same and then just have a dry trim when needed :)

    Hope you feel better soon as well.
