    Very quiet month on here so far. Leet's hope we get more updates over the weekend for weds/thurs if like me you get paid on the last working day of the month.

    It is bonus and pay rise time (hopefully) so depending on what comes my way, I hope to get up near the 8K mark. That would be awesome!!

    Hey all,

    I'm waiting for Monday payday too and then will update.

    Amatheya - I know the feeling, it's easy to get down hearted by it but think of all the positives and they keep you going.

    It's been really quiet on here too, I love reading peoples comments as they motivate me.

    We look like we're doing better than we are as the credit card and the overdraft have both had bits added to them as the months have ticked on and today I had to take the last bit of savings I thought we had as my car failed it's MOT and I had to spend £273 getting it roadworthy again! Grrrr...

    Will update next week though.... Have a good weekend all! x

    Hello everyone, I've just updated my totals, my loan payment of £412.36 has gone out and I've paid £300 back to my OH, which makes a total paid back this month of £712.36.

    I haven't quite paid back what I would have like by now, but we've had a 21st and a 100th birthday in the family and have a graduation and an 18th birthday next month.

    I think I'll have to start searching for some more stuff to ebay, but its hard to get motivated when the weather is so nice :)

    Everyone's doing really well, keep up the good work x

    £200 to Barclaycard 1 today. Possibly one last payment to go on that one before I shuffle the debt to HSBC 0% and clear it.

    A few more payments have gone out, some towards savings for holiday spend and some towards debts. Total is now £6796.86. Just one more payment to go out this month and then the challenge is to spend NOTHING to try and bring the overdraft in. Ha. We'll see how likely that is....:o
