Hypno's "bursting with energy" diary.......

I know that things are going ok, but it still feels as though we are swimming through treacle - and I am sure you all know that feeling!!
Like I say, I *know* that improvements are being made......the debt total is coming down.......and for the first time in months there has been the ability to overpay a small amount......and with selling the car in a couple of weeks and stuff, we should really make that progress.
I have to say I am (sadly) looking forward to 1st July - the next two weeks can't come quick enough!!! Why? Because I clear the first of our loans and I want to update my snowball!!!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

When the loan is cleared, how much will you have free a month to put on other things? I really do think that you'll be able to pay more than £20k off this year at the rate you're going!Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This particular loan payment is £196.75 - so it will initially go towards the next debt to try and get something else down quicker (not sure what yet!), but it also means that in a really lean month we could use that money to pay "other" bills or put food on the table etc, so it does give us a bit of a choice.
Obviously, though, first choice is for it to go towards another debt.
As for paying off more than £20k - it would be nice, but I think I stick to the £20k target just for the moment...........:cool:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

That's great - having the option to overpay, or just knowing the cash is there in case something pops up (as it invariably does). I think you're doing really well, and I'm proud of you lol
I know what you mean about wanting the next payday to come - great, isn;t it, when instead of 'OMG I want next payday I'm skint' it's 'OMG I want next payday so I pay off my debt' lol.This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:0 -
