If you can get it gone within the 12 months or less if you pay at the current rate then go for it. Once it has gone you can go forwards knowing that you have completely cleared ex out of your life, and everything you do now is for you.Credit card debt - NIL

Thanks Susie.SusieT said:If you can get it gone within the 12 months or less if you pay at the current rate then go for it. Once it has gone you can go forwards knowing that you have completely cleared ex out of your life, and everything you do now is for you.12 months will be a challenge but if I can motivate myself with this one debt, I’ll feel better and be better off long term.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Had a lovely day yesterday.
DD’s clubs dominate the morning but then I came home and taught my sister and her friend how to make a wreath. We had some mulled wine and before long it was 7pm and we’d had fun in the afternoon. Their wreaths look amazing though.

The bottom one looks messy but it was just waste. Once I picked it up, it was fine.September 2017 Debt = £25330

Thank you, I only told what to do. I didn’t make them all. They seemed really pleased with them though and now they know how to do it next year. They have said though that they want to do it again with me next year!Sun_Addict said:The wreaths are beautiful, well done 👏September 2017 Debt = £25330

yes, not being in work has reduced the anxiety a lot but the thought of going back increases it! The DR is very much looking out for me, which is reassuring. I’m not sure what the future holds though with regards to it all.Hope you’re ok?
The credit card is the biggest it has ever been so I know I’m going to start tackling it. It’s about time I finally got rid of that debt in particular, regardless of how I feel about it, it’s still in my name xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
