    It is addictive!!! I was pleased today when the interest was added to my mortgage, so that I could pay the "odd" off that... so maybe weird, but there are plenty of other weirdos out there, judging by this thread. Better weird than boring!

    yep weirdo here too lol

    I love overpaying my cc's and constantly go online to check the balances.
    I also go on the snowball calculator and love to see my debt free date go down each month :j

    Yep I'm weird too! Love it when me or DH gets paid and I can start knocking down the figures. Almost better than Christmas in our house!
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Payday tomorrow and I continue to be way too excited about it! Looking forward to finally paying off my overdraft (after 9 years of using it!)

    Luckily for me I can already see my payslip (I work for the civil service and our payslips can be printed off from an intranet). That said, it can be depressing knowing exactly how much money is coming my way too, as it's never enough ;)
