    well done mumofcookers!

    is anyone else finding this very addictive? i look at my spreadsheets at least a few times a day to see if *magically* i can make another payment! i desperately want to clear another card - i hope to clear my egg card by 10 Feb and then OH's tesco card (mostly by BT) as well. but its really frustrating as i want to do it now!!

    Target remaining: 88.89%

    I agree, very well said Jacks, and well done mumofcookers! :T

    Another day, another egg loan payment, so that's another £266.20 towards my target.

    Aiming for some extra payments to the Nationwide CC later in the week, so back to the listing for me (no rest for the wicked!)

  • well i've managed to get together with my other half and have realised that we need to pay off one of his CC's first as his 0% has run out. so i'm going to keep my sig as it is in terms of my own debts but i'm going to include my payments to oh's debts in this challenge, on the understanding that once his is gone then he's going to help me pay mine!

    I've managed to pay another £57 today and will count my car payment when this comes out later in the month

    In Search of Me...these things just have to be done..noticing this and where the money does go is half the battle I think and certainly where I am finding this money management thing pretty empowering

    Hi not been on for a while but just totalled my Jan figures up and I have paid off £884.97 so far. Will try and keep more up to date with the thread but find it difficult to find the time. I am keeping a spreadsheet with all my figures on so should be able to do the monthly post if nothing else.

    well done to all of you clearing cards and loans etc. there are some fantastic achievements going on here :T :T :T
