    :wave: Hiya my lovelies,

    I've been majorly stressing about the debts a bit (again!) so I've been kicking the @r$e out of it all month and we have paid £2416 exactly off the debts this month. The downside is that I haven't been on here very much so I feel a bit out of the loop. (and my social life has vanished entirely.)

    Mum in laws finances are very convoluted and needless to say she's being over charged left right and centre so that's taking time to sort out. I'd go at it like a bull in a china shop and get it done and dusted but she finds it all very worrying and so we have to take a slower softly softly approach to keep her calm.

    I am dreading the gas and leccy bills cos everyone says be prepared for a shock, and they're due this week. Which means more sums because Eon haven't got our bill right yet. (I don't blame 'em - their tariffs are really hard to work out!

    A huge well done to all of us - with the credit crunch and everything going up and up Taxi is right - it's amazing that we're still plugging away at it.

    I'm just off to update my totals now.

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Blimey Gemmzie - that's a nice chunk to pay off all at once! :T

    Imagine how fast our savings are going to grow when we're finally free of all this!

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    We're planning a big holiday in 2010 Jacks - it's my parent's silver wedding anniversary. So the savings will be worth it :D

  • Right, just paid another £752.09 off the debts although have screwed up a bit as I have paid my Virgin card too early in the month and will have to make two payments this month - breathing in and tightening that belt. August and September continue the outrageously expensive run of months, can't wait for October when I can get back to frugality and debt busting with gusto again.

    Great progress fellow anti-faffers
