    Hi everyone..hope we are all well xxx just updated my sig as loan 2 has come out today.
  • Morning everyone.

    How are you all?

    Nothing new to report really. I've updated my signature to show where I am (and it's looking pretty pitiful).

    I certainly understand Hypno's "wading through treacle" feeling. Working out how I'm going to get through the month seems to take all my energy and any extra money that does come in is immediately swallowed up.

    Pauses to give self a "pull yourself together" talking to.

    Okay, on a positive note I break up from work next week and by the end of the summer, I WILL have cleared the debts that are making it hard to get through the month.

    Well done everyone - you are all doing so well and that's really motivating me. Thank you.

    Polly

    That's great news that by the end of the summer you will have cleared the debts that are making it hard for you to get through the month.You may then use any extras off the debt so it will come down quicker.Just remember you are doing really well!!!!!

    Hi all,
    Had DD graduation this week, we had a lovely day and it was well worth all of the money spent. Now need to get back to paying off these debts. Have spent the day reading the matched betting threads over and over again. I am determined to get my head around it. Anyone else on here tried MB?

    Just another update as have paid £6800 off the car finance from the insurance.
    My total owing will be going up as we had our taxi wrote off and it was on finance and the payout is less than the finance and we've had to order a new taxi .So this figure will be up tomorrow and then start coming down again.

    Taxi, you've done really well! Think you'll hit the target well before the end of the year. I'm looking forward to my car loan finishing in October, then I can really bump up payments elsewhere.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Taxi, just re-read your post. Sorry having a total fuzzy moment. Just seen the paid from insurance, did I miss something (sorry if I did)? Hope everyone's ok.
