Am beginning to see the light!

Just wanted to post cos I'm feeling alot more on top of things this month. I only added up all the debt last month, partly because I found out then that h had a loan I knew nothing about and we also had to borrow money to pay our share of the new roof for our flat, but since then I made all the payments I planned to in August. We had to use hs 0% card while away for the weekend but have just paid an extra £200 to that from a bonus he got at work. Am just feeling much better now I am tracking the balances coming down. I am just off the phone to my credit card after transferring the balance from another one which i am now going to close, got a rate of 5.9% for the life of the balance, so quite pleased with that aswell. Doing well and still have about £200 extra to pay off before pay day next friday when my month starts again, so all in all feeling very pleased with myself!
Total Debt (27th Nov 08) £16,707.03 Now £5,102.72

    Cool!!!!!

    Its always better when payments can be made and the weights start to lift!

    For me, nearly all our creditors have accepted offers, payments being made and now balances are coming down!!
