    I've not been doing too well with keeping this diary up to date have I :o

    Well, the debt situation has changed dramatically! I have an inheritance payment coming through in the next couple of months that will be used to pay off all of my credit card debt. Some may think I'm lucky, and I guess I am, but I would rather have the family member :(

    My focus now is going to be on building up savings in both my personal savings account and the joint savings account I have with the OH. However, I have just taken on the biggest debt of my life - a mortgage! :eek: I will be starting up a new diary in the mortgage free wannabe section. Thanks to those who popped in here with encouragement and good luck on your debt free journeys :)

  • I like the idea of paying off 1% here and 2% there! Makes it mean a bit more I think when you do pay off a little.

    Best of luck on your journey. The things you do as you pay this off will stand you in good stead when you become a mortgage free wannabe.
