  • in search of me, the twenty years comment was a bit of an eggageration (sp?) although, it really does feel like twenty years!
    havent got a dfd yet, still working on trying to get the !!!!!!s to reply to my letters, (let alone agree to my offers!)

    i think in reality, i'm looking at around 5 (ish) years.

    but that all depends on how much we can cut back, how much extra we can bring in. as our outgoings are waaaaaaaaaaaay higher than our incomings. (Both on the sick at the min)

    :D sorry if i confused you ;)

    Hi Taxi you are doing really well! You'll clear 25k at this rate! Im still just paying minimum payments until my Christmas shopping is done and the left over will go off debts.

    OH should earn a fair amount over christmas and new year as long as the car behaves itself! I will only really see him Christmas morning when he gets home but its for a good cause!

    Did overtime yesterday which I should get at the end of this month so that will help too.

    How is everyone else x x

    Blimey lovelies, we're getting there aren't we? :dance:

    We are also currently in the midst of our first Christmas not put on credit - and it's very very weird! :eek:

    I never realised that there was always this undercurrent of worry when I was shopping for gifts even though I was spending freely whereas now I feel more in control and I'm spending money I've actually got. (Well...ish! If you can be said to be doing that when you still owe £25k. :rolleyes: )

    These next two weeks will be the clincher. I've got a few more peeps to buy for and it's all got to come out of what I can make on eBay.

    So I'd better get over there huh? ;)

    Love Jacks xxx :D
