    if you read post 1284...it may explain some things to you...after reading that you may understand it's really genuinely paid off.
    I'm upset as a certain poster thinks that I've consolidated but I haven't.I didn't want my taxi to be wrote off and have to get another £15000 loan so that I could stay in business...at the end of the day it is paid off....loan 3 and loan 4 is the new one that I've had to add to my debt total...
  • Ah, now I understand, I haven't been on much over the last few weeks so have missed loads of what has happened.

    Really sorry to hear your taxi got written off, I hope you were OK (and ideally not in it), I guess the last thing you needed at the moment was a new loan.

    I still think you have done amazingly well, roll on £30k for Taxi.

    Hi All, hope everyone's well. I have made a few more payments and updated my signature. I got £200 from my friends for house-sitting and dog sitting for a few weeks but that money is for my wedding fund (so they told me) so I haven't added it to my debt. Being a good girl and paying it into my savings account. Ebay is going ok, 9 items listed, 1 sold already, 4 have bids and still a few days to go. So hopefully the rest will get bids. That money is going towards debt. Logical side says wait till I have £50 in paypal then trasnfer it so I don't have to pay the fee, but the other side says transfer it now as I get it to made a dent (all be it very small).

    Anyone else feel like this when they have money in Paypal?

    morning guys - I have just reduced my debt by another £167! Quidco paid out today so I paid £200 off egg but there was £33.22 interest to add......still, it is still a net repayment of £167 - with freeeee money too so even better!

    I am now 5/8 of the way to target :D

    Keep going guys we are getting there.

    Another few payments made. Have updated my signature, not much on the ebay front no more bids yet, my items end on friday so hopefully they'll go up before then!
