    It is great to see those payments being made, and to see posts that report the paying off completely of a debt, big or small, is particuarly satisfying, isn't it :j

    Sadly, I am a way off clearing anything completely right now, but I have had a loan payment come out today, meaning I am now £214.97 closer to being debt free :T

    Keep going guys - you are all doing fantasmagorically!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all..well done everyone. Very pleased at having saved up for a bit and shifted another £2227..finally getting rid of my last credit card on 15% (ouch) - I used to stick with it cos its ethical and although I am still banking with an ethical bank I realise that saving the planet actually starts with not spending money on stuff I don't need! Keep going folks

  • Pay day today! £179 has already come off my car loan and will work out my CC payments later. this month is going to be really tight can't see any overpayments being made, I'm ebaying like a mad woman just to make sure the minimums get covered.

    i feel a bit flat today, just get up of watching every penny.. does anybody else have days like this?

    There must be something in the air today - as I do, and I'm feeling one very much today. I sat down to do some work, and had to stop and think 'Do I really need the light on?' - which in turn upset me that I can't just put a light on without worrying about the cost.

    Never mind though - we'll get there between us all. :)
