Payday today and debts paid. My signature has been updated and most importantly MBN@ is no more.....all paid off.:j:j:j. I've managed it two months before the target date so hopefully I will get the next one done by then instead. It's going to be a tight month but who cares.
Good old Dave. Smallest to biggest debt is definitely working for me. So happy.
Now tonight I need to crack on with the sewing and get more paid off.

That is terrific that you cleared a debt so early and are ready to tackle the next one. :T You are a brilliant example of finding another way when the way you have been trying is not working. I can feel your energy gain momentumIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Thank you INOD, DIA and cherry.
I seem to be pulling things together at the moment and have even started to focus on my health and weight which is probably a bigger worry than the debt. Fingers crossed I will be a new woman by Christmas.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

Congrats Parsnip! I too have found the Dave Ramsey method really helpful. I just cleared my car loan and now only have one debt left. Its very gratifying! I hope you celebrated with real ale! I had chips0

Well done on being down to one debt DrSpendLittle. I hope to be there soon (excluding mortgage).
Another sewing job done this morning. It will be delivered soon and payment will go straight off the card. :j
I picked up another pile yesterday and was informed of another potential customer.:j. Even my confidence is beginning to grow as a shy, introvert.:)
I will end this year in a better place than started. Six months to go. What can be achieved. I may even become tidy.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

As far as I can tell there is a lot of demand for alterations and sewing jobs, the people I do know of are fully booked or are on weeks for turnaround. Your reputation will spread I am sure. Do you do any social media? Give out cards with your completed work so its easy for them to pass your number on? I need to have a push and so some marketing but as a opinionated procrastinating introvert I find it far easier to tell others what to do
I cleared a boy room last week in between other tasks, need to achieve far more this week. Only two weeks left till they finish school :eek:My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese
