    Hi all...keep up the good work.

    I'm still having trouble with my creditors most have now agreed to the new payments except Lloyds who I have a credit card, loan and overdraft with. I have been applying for part-time evening jobs but nothing has come up yet.

    I got a pay rise this month of a massive £28 extra after tax... but I suppose its better than a slap in the face with a wet fish!!! And I have a whole 30 minutes overtime for this month so far.

    On the good side I have £70 ready to be paid from Quidco and £50 validated.

    Have a good weekend all

    Well done everyone :j you are doing so well. I haven't popped in for a while, & the progress you are all making is fab!

    I've had to remortgage this week as fixed rate ends September :mad: , I've gone on to repayment again, I was int only , but I cashed in my ISA to pay some debt off previously, I've slightly lengthened the term - only 3 years more, but I just don't want to struggle & get in a mess again, so i will only be about £120 worse off a month, I can overpay up to £500 a month if I want ( or can! ) which I can take off the term, so quite happy with it. Just a shame the credit crunch came just as I've got back on my feet, though had I not got sorted & this had happened, I don't know what would've happened, so not all bad!
    Keep up the hard work you're halfway there it's all down hill ( in a good way ) from here:T

    Taxi, just be glad you & I saw the light ( bulb ) when you/we did, & you're over halfway - I hope we don't have a fuel strike too, for your sake & other small businesses, who are just about staying afloat. It's all so depressing at the moment.........
