Since posting earlier, I've now paid off my 4 yr old Cahoot loan which was costing me £205 a month. I'm now free of the 48 month trap I put myself into all those years ago.
It's not quite sunk in that it's gone yet as I still have other bills to pay this month which are bothering me, but I'll feel the benefits next month in a big, big way!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -
I've checked my banking - overdraft down!!
Taken cash from OH!!
Done clicks
Playing free bingo (does that count!)
Dried washing inside
& thinking about sorting out ebay listings!0 -

Having compiled my updated SOA I have from today started a spending diary as I seem to be "losing" over £200 PM
Also done snowballs and saved those so I know how much I need to pay to whom each month.
I feel better already 0 -
