Not been on much... small update

Hi all,

Just thought i'd post and say I havent left or anything and am still tackling my debts but I just havent had the time to post much over the last 3 weeks. I have received some PM's from people asking for some advice what I have now answered although I apologise for the delay.

Work wise things are things are ok at present and I managed to hit most of my targets and got a £700 bonus this month what has knocked a large chunk out of a credit card. I am awaiting a form to arrive from my solicitor (darn these post strikes!) with regards to my remortgage and once this is complete I will have around £500 extra to throw at my debts as I have nearly halved the interest rate I am paying my current lender.

Also at my part time job at Tesco I was given a chance to train as a team leader and means that I get a little more money an hour. I have cut down my shifts by about 12 hours a month there as working 7 days a week has started to make me feel pretty ill to be honest.

Debt wise I currently owe approx £30k unsecured and around £150K on my Flat that was repossessed although I hope that once its sold I owe a hell of a lot less! ;)

I am still around but am not posting as much as I really need to crack on with my job and I do find I post a little to much here when im meant to be out and about actually selling stuff ;)

I hope that I will be back to posting daily again in a month or so time when work isnt as hectic. I also feel that I need to take a back seat and Lurk for bit as sometimes I feel I get to involved.

I love this forum and that is why I feel that I need to post my reasons for not being on latley... I am not sure if I have even been missed but miss being on here but will rerturn soon.

    Hi Crown,

    Good to hear things are going well.

    I haven't been about, with the wedding, MBA and honeymoon - I haven't been able to post!

    Good luck with the flat sale completing and the cheque arriving.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
