    Morning!

    I've just paid my daily £1 - also rounded down my account so paid an extra £39. It's decreasing slowly but surely. Hoping to have cleared this card by the end of June.

    Right off to get ready for work..... thank goodness it's Friday! have a busy weekend planned - intend to do lots of Ebaying!

    Morning!

    Just did another catch up - have paid £6 towards my CC so my daily £1s are now back up-to-date.

    Really busy in work at the moment so I am struggling with my work/life balance - hence no posting for a few days. Ideally I would really love to give up my highly paid pressurised job to run my own business, have more control of my time and be ther more for my family. But I figure that I'll have to be debt free first to elevated some of the pressure ..... til then I'll dream!!

    Hope you're all doing well and focussing on that great day when your debt count is £0!!

    Speak soon x

    I'm looking forward to that day! :) Hope you're all doing well. We've had to redo our budget recently as obviously now that I'm maternity leave we get less coming in. Really good to see where we can cut back and start paying more onto our debts.

    Things are on the up for us! I've just had one Open Uni essay back and it got a score more than I thought it would so very happy with that. Also, been entering my competitions and last week I won an iPod Touch! Thank you to you all on this thread too as your votes helped to sway it! :D:D

    Hi

    I have fallen off the wagon yet again. I have taken my eye off the ball and been spending like there's no tomorrow. I am almost back owing the same amount as when I started MSE :mad:

    My goal is to clear my debt by 12 July 2012 which is 748 days away - if i Continue the way I have this year, then I won't reach my target. I am really annoyed with myself.

    But today is pay day, so my focussing begins RIGHT NOW!:T

    I have a little over 24 months to become debt free so need to be paying around £750 extra towards my cards and overdraft. I am going to really pull back on my spends and aim for at least 20 NSDs every month and manage my money as if it were a "little business".

    I am extremely disappointed that I haven't been as good as I could, but from this moment onwards, I am committed to become debt free by my goal date.

    Off we go!

    So to catch up on all my missed daily £1's, I have paid £25 towards my credit card and a further £50 as it's pay day!

    So now I'm £75 closer to clearing my debt :T

    How fabulous is this sunshine? I'm not planning anything for this weekend other then sitting in the garden with the family. So hopefully it will be a low spend few days.

    Hello!

    Thought I'd jump on the forum before I get into the swing of today! I definately have to log on every day to keep me focussed and on track!

    Have paid my daily £1 - woo hoo!

    I've also completed my Tesco online order for delivery this evening so I can just enjoy the sunshine for the rest of the day.

    Enjoy your day.... x
