I'm back

So guys .. I've been a bit quiet lately but that's because my BF booked a surprise holiday for us and so I needed to save some spends .. well back now and full steam ahead again 😉

I probably wouldn't of booked a holiday myself but I enjoyed it and I'm all refreshed ready to get back on that debt busting wagon :beer:

I have been sticking with it and I even came back with money to pay off my cc instead of wasting it on holiday tack .. yay

I'm determined to get this cleared by next year ... well mebbies end of next year

Oh and car is still going great ... I can't believe how far I have came over the last 6 months .. new car holiday and a good chunk paid off my debt :T

So today was spent listing on eBay and meal planning ... I'm planning on doing a batch cook on Sunday which should not just save money but will also make life easier due to all the time I spend out at work

Thanks guys for the support over the last few month and I'm apologising in advance for the silly questions I will have over the next upcoming months :o

    What's your strategy for clearing your debt by end of 2018? Btw no such things as silly questions when it comes to debt free journey, there are such a thing as silly answers.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
  • Thanks purple ��
    Datlex plan is to throw all my spare pennies at the debt .. hopefully a minimum of £500 extra on top of what I'm paying at the minute, I already overpay by a few hindered a month.

  • So this afternoon I was just checking my card to see the £0 balance and I noticed that there was a 0% BT offer that ends today .. so I have transferred as much as I could from my BC to the 0% :)

    Next mini goal is to clear the couple of hundered left on the BC .. hopefully this should be by the end of the month.

    All my PADs will be headed this way for the next few weeks ��
