    Well done your your sig update Shopaholic! :T Not long till you are debt free. Quidco can take a few months to pay out, but when it does it will be fab.

    Well im now feelig very guilty. I had a long lovely chat with my mum last night, told her how well i was doing etc. and she said it was fab (she was the one that told me to pay off debts with APR rate first, and leave hers till last). I know it makes sense to do this, but she has just sent me a text saying thanks for the call it was lovely and that she is so proud of me for clearing my debts and at how well i am doing.

    I now feel guilty for 1) borrowing money from her, and then getting into more debt and 2) for not paying her anything back for months.

    :rolleyes:

    Im wondering if i will be able to pay her back this year. I really hope i can.

    stay focused amy you can do it i think you could start paying your mum this year. if you get rid of thoses debts with interest you will have money to pay her off and you will be able to pay more because you won;t have interset to worry about.
    shopoholic well done updating signatures can really keep you focused.
    i am really excited about paying mine off but i am so impatitent!!

    I'm baaaaack-been at work-booooooo!!

    Well done on your ebay sales jen, you're right i'm sure it was only £30 something last time we worked out your monthly payment, summat is up there! hang on isnt there more than 20 weeks til xmas????
    great news about your rent payment Amy, bet that was a relief! Please dont feel bad about your Mum, she is obviously very proud of you and im sure if she thought she had upset you she would be gutted , you will be able to pay her back very soon.

    Hi shopaholic, you are doing brilliantly, i would stick to quidco, yeah it takes a while to pay out (betfair took 3 months but paid yesterday!) but its free money-dont really care how long it takes! do it then forget about it and its a great surprise when a payment appears! I've got £136 to be paid from them next month:D
