Afternoon all!
I’ve decided I want this £8500 of consumer debt paid off by the end of 2021 when I will be 40!
Just slushed another £11 at the husbands loan that was left over in my account from cancelling a direct debit.
I get paid on Thursday and will get the tax I over paid at the beginning of the year so will then slush £600 towards husbands loan.
Hope everyone is bearing up well in lockdown!Crunchy xxStart Total 12/12/25 £6557

We pay £356 on one loan and £182 on the other so £538 but in the new year I am going to round it up to £400 and £200 so £600. So it's more than doable.Sarahwithlove said:That's what about £650 a month on average. How much are you managing at the moment?
We have £125 left in the food budget till the end of the month that, fingers crossed, will be enough.Start Total 12/12/25 £6557

Evening all!
Currently having a break from my assignment. Finding this own hard. I still have 1000 words to write and it’s due on Tuesday. I shall go for a run tomorrow and then focus hard on it all morning. And I want to do a masters!!!! I blow my own mind sometimes!
The kettle blew up today so that is something I must start to shop around for. It lasted 6 years so its had some good innings. I shall try and keep husband in check for a reasonable priced one.
I really should start my Christmas shopping but I seem to have lost all enthusiasm! Maybe that can be my treat after I have finished this assignment!
Right, better get back to it, it’s not going to write itself!
