    No 61 here. Can I update my amounts. I have made some payments at payday and I have paid off altogether £3120 so far.
    Long road ahead and tight budgets are killing us. It will be so worth it eventually.

    January has been SUCH a long month!! Trying to get into a routine with new job/new house/baby/working shifts hasn't gone great and I'm missing the extra money I used to get for shifts - I need to start working within my current income (which would be a lot easier without paying off credit cards!!)

    Argh! Challenge ahead ....my dryer has died! We are a family of four adults and one 5 year old - I need my dryer. I actually went online last night and found a great deal but just couldn't bring myself to click order now, I have a spread sheet with all our debt payments and amounts on and if I use the cards then I highlight the spend in red - I haven't ordered the dryer because I don't want to have to use the red highlighter - this is a new and welcome turn of events! So it might be a tricky couple of months through the worst of winter without a dryer but if I am ever to break this cycle there has to be a point where we say stop!
