  • ooo, I don't have a ticket, but if any of you win, can you lend me a tenner!? hehe.

    NorthStar and Impetus, that definitely is long haul! As you say on your sig though (as I've got on mine...), hopefully sooner! Not that it will be sooner for me at the rate I'm going, not been doing so well here, lots of small things gone wrong that cost money. Sigh. But, getting ideas for cheap christmas gifts, so fingers crossed December won't be too crippling.

    I'm just about making payments at the moment, lately its been a struggle, but hoping after christmas things will get easier, lodger money will be for debt repayment rather than catch up, and OH finds out soon if he gets a pay rise in the new year, keeping everything crossed for that. In the meantime, its knuckling down and getting on with it time!

    Good luck with the soup PoorBabe - I'm making spicy lentil and tomato this weekend, hope it turns out well!

    Thank you so much to all posters :beer:
  • heh, thanks!
    Its such an insane amount isn't it?! I couldn't even imagine having that much, I'd like to try it though! Beats the hard graft of becoming debt free.
    Although I'm sure the hard way is more character building. Or something like that...:rolleyes:

    Hello everyone!

    When I heard there were 2 winners of the 90m from the Euromillions I thought good grief how would I cope with that amount of money!

    Had some good news yesterday that my mortgage payments reduce from next month by £300 a month. Need to keep an eye on the interest rates however it is ok for now as I was worried it would shoot up to £1000 a month once the deal ended.

    Finally some good news at long last and will have enough to last the month and stop accuring charges every month and get back into credit and then free up some to tackle the CC (fingers crossed!)
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    That's great news, my fixed rate ends on Jan 3rd and Im told mine will drop by about £300 too, something that I desperately need to get my DMP up and running!
