    Hey all!

    New ticker showing above for me. Although it looks like a small amount, that's only since I started the challenge, so I'm happy with this! I am going to try and remember to update the tracker every month before payday. I won't remember to update my PAD each day!

    Hope everyone is doing well with their debt-busting.

    Morning everyone

    This decluttering business takes longer than I thought!! Still I've nearly done my bedroom which was the worst room. I can actually see the floor now!!

    I've got 2 boxes full of stuff to list on Ebay so will get cracking with that this evening.

    I paid another £5 off my Barclaycard yesterday so it's now down to £350.

    Will update my ticker when my DMP statement comes through which should be in the next few days.

    I spent some of my birthday money today but am pleased that I've taken the time to consider what I'd really like the most and not just bought everything I want!!
    I'm struggling to meet my NSD target- I think I was over ambitious given it's my first full month.
    PADing is going well and really cheers me up!!

    Payday today! So £200 paid off the debt :T which also means, I suppose, that I am £200 closer to being 40 :eek::rotfl:

    Hello! Lots of posts with tickers on, well done everyone on progress towards being debt free and ##!

    I am just online faffing about at the minute when I really ought to be doing some work, I quite honestly can't be bothered though. I have a busy weekend of marking coming up and then I'm gonna blitz my assignment and the other stuff after that's out the way.
    I really should have gone to the gym too, I went on tuesday but then today and yesterday I finshed work just that bit too late and I would have got there right at the busy time. Naughty naughty!

    Can't wait till payday, this time next week.... I had a voucher through on email for pizza hut for a 3 course meal for £7.99 as long as you choose from the new menu items. Sounds like a good excuse to go out for a meal to me!
