I love payday, I have written the cheques out already! We have paid the joint credit card that we clear every month, £350 off the Virgin credit card and ther's enough left to pay the NEXT bill as soon as it comes in!
Hope you are all seeing some inroads into your debt too....

Wow, I wish.
I get paid on the 20th. Whatevers left in my account ( and believe me it will be a first if theres anything left) is going to my Credit card.
Keep em crossed for me !
and congrats! Sounds like you are doing really well!:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
well done minty, you're doing so well! :j
I won't be writing any cheques as I don't have a chequebook any more but I don't miss it at all!
I'll be making my second payment to CCCS by direct debit this time. Its only £85 though
I've been waiting impatiently for a phonecall from them for 2 weeks now so that I can increase my payments, I wish they would ring as I am really looking forward to making some significant payments & starting to see some real progress on my debt reduction0 -
Nothing by cheque. I pay all of mine online.
But will be paying some off my credit card and a loan payment. As a total, a minimum of about £350 hopefully more
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
I should be getting my pay cheque today! i can't wait for it to clear so i can reduce my debts
This is the first month since i opened my account that i am in credit at the end of the month!
I'm going to make my usual repayments first (£220 & £50) and then transfer any extra money over to savings, i have my sisters wedding in May so need to save a bit for that, then anything i don't spend can go towards virgin cc
I have £200 in savings from last month and i think i'm going to buy a new cooker with that. Am limited to one hob that varies it's own temperature and an oven with a self opening door.

Ooh, just worked out that I've managed to overpay debt repayment by £59.29 or 20% this month!!! Pretty chuffed!!! :j
Good work, everyone! :beer:0 -
I am going to increase my payment to my natwest card from £150 to £300 this month. The 0% expires in May so going all out to clear it before then. Once that is clear I will have paid off all my university debt! :T :beer: (Just the car debt for my pride and joy of a Beetle then to go).What did I do at work before I discovered MSE?!

It's the day of the big e-payments for me, the day when the bank account goes from being healthly in credit to being overdrawn, yet again!
Mammoth repayments to Next, Mint, Marbles etc all gone out this morning... Ho-Hum!
Next month I start to overpay and will look forward to making those payments just so I know I'm bringing our debtfree date forward!
