    All of my DD's/SO's will come out over the next few days - havent even had my CC statement yet, but already transferred them the money I owe them (in full!!).

    Payday to me is one step closer to reaching my savings target & going to Oz!!

    Cannot wait!! xx

    All mine paid by DD but will be able to clear 2 of the smaller balances this month that only have about £200 each left on them. It's going to be such a good feeling to have finally paid 2 off .... only 18 to go!!

    Really going to work hard on the 'Grocery Challenge' this month so I can make another overpayment at the end with what's left. Usually spend £250 - going to try for £200 (but Easter may affect it!).

    Well done everyone - the debt is dropping!! :T

    b&e the 245.00 even though we are still getting threatening letters from the companys we owe to, going to try and clear my capital one card (around 290.00) and some off each of my catalogues, my biggest challenge this month will be sticking to my shopping budget

    No cheques for me- no chequebook. Also, don't really have any debts as I'm a bankrupt, but I will be paying out extra rent as I'm slightly in arrears and extra gas.

    Two cheques for me to write out tonight, will be sending £35 to Seeboard for elec bill, and 35 to MidKent Water for the obvious.Adding in letter to tell them they will get the full outstanding amount in May, from former flatmate.
    Then rent (275), Loan (135), CC DDebit (50) Dotty P's store card (25) Phone bill (that went apparently 28th, how did I have money in there to pay that one!!!)
    So thats £555 already! And that'll be by mid month.

    Will aim to then overpay CC and Store card by another 25 each, so thats £605

    Im sure im forgetting something........
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHH BT for phone/broadband is another £35! So lets say a round £650 all in.

    Then just go to see what I'm left with toward end of month, aiming to knock another £50 off overdraft, or may overpay CC if I have got that left over.Pretty sure my APR is greater on my CC than on overdraft!

    How sad am I! I've just waited up til 12 o/c for my account to be credited with my pay cheque! Within 10 mins of it being there I've paid of my o/s amount on my Mint card (only £34.62) AND my HSBC overpayment £227. All the rest will be DD by 1st of the month! I was really worried I only had £25 to last me the month (April) when I spotted a typo in my calcs! Now means I've got £165.. what more could I ask for! :D (part of being debt free!!!!)
