    Nothing for me today either, but just wanted to be friendly too! LOL. Am doing the same thing as last month - keeping extra earnt money aside to make extra payments, which i'll do as soon as my next month's salary comes in (not til 15th April, boo). Am also attempting the first month of reduce overdraft by £100 a month, so slightly worried about how that's going to go. DH has a gig in Germany next week which appears to be paying for two days instead of the expected one, so he has already agreed that extra money can go towards the barclaycard. Hoorah!

    :j Yay its the weekend and its sunny!! :j

    Another month is drawing to a close....don't think I will be able to make any more extra payments this month so total so far is now...£4,383.55.

    Bit short of target but not doing to badly (although I say so myself). It is all heading in the right direction anyway!!

    Everyone else seems to making good progress too. Keep it up guys! :D

    Just want to give you all my support - it can be done.
    I got myself into massive debt problems manly due to a lazyness and alcohol but in Dec 07 i decided i needed to sort it out.
    Just made my last payment today.
    A total of £41,340.00 in 16months.

    Keep at it.

    Hi Everyone

    I don't think I have updated here so I have finally done my sums and added up what I have paid off my debt since 1/12/08 and came to the grand total of £5171!!!:j

    So, I have paid off 1/4 of my debt in 1/3 of the time. Need to work harder but it is really good to see that figure.

    Taxi - I've just seen your weightloss - GREAT STUFF.

    Hello everyone, there are some great totals now we have all got into the swing of things. Doesnt it make you wonder what you used to spend your money on?

    I have paid £500 off arrears to VAT. I have updated my sig and am pleased but i am really feeling the pinch. If its not nailed down its being sold, and if the children don't breathe...or maybe do breathe and scream, they could end up going as well.:eek:

    My OH and I are determined to get rid of this debt so long as the officials don't cut us off at the pass (sounds painful just thinking about it:p ).

    Have a great weekend everyone xx
