No problem re the soa
Well done re saving on your phone bill, if you do switch any utility bill providers always go through topcashback.co.uk first go compare are on there and its a good level of cashback too move energy providers.
Yes, I found out about Topcashback through this forum, I love it! Got a cheap deal and £39 cashback, win win! As far as I know we're paying as little as possible on all utilities now (OH even gets f&f discount on broadband).

What is it - 5 weeks until Christmas? I suspect what you *actually* want is a change of scene, and that will definitely be one, no? AND I bet there will be nights out as part of it too!

Well I'm down to about 100 on the payday loan and hoping to get that paid off today.
I'm pretty good with Christmas spending - no family and I spread out the gift buying over a few months - concentrating on finding something meaningful for the recipient rather than just the latest brand or fad (I'm not materialistic at all, debt is from leaving a bad relationship with only the clothes on my back).
Anyway, enough of the life story.
Thanks for the support. Feels good now the numbers are going down. I've planned work over every weekend til the one before xmas so I couldn't go out or anything anyway. Gives me something to look forward to![STRIKE]Debts £5956.40[/STRIKE] £5172.76/COLOR] :T0 -

Thanks!
Down to about £5400 of debt now, I'll add it up later.
Sunny loans are all paid off. Just got 2 credit cards and an overdraft.
Business is going really well, all household bills paid until at least end of the year (most I paid upfront until March/April).
Definitely feeling a lot better. Had a few meals out with my partner and seen friends for coffee etc. It's such a relief having less debt hanging over me.
Thanks for reading, offering tips and cheering me along. It really has all been such a help[STRIKE]Debts £5956.40[/STRIKE] £5172.76/COLOR] :T0 -
