    It's so exciting to hear how motivated everyone is, it really does encourage me, though like peetzil I'm waiting till after next payday now before any more payments go out. Grrrr! :rolleyes:

    Back to work tomorrow so got to make sure I stay on task and don't get distracted, will allow myself some time every evening to check thread and post updates. Yay! :A

    Have got OH on board though and he's spent some time today sorting out what he doesn't mind selling so may have some more ebay stuff to go on. Of 7 items listed only 1 bid so far but am hoping to sue all payments towards debts.

    Enjoy Sunday evening all and have a good week back at work if this is your first trip in since Xmas!
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    Woooo hoo I should have another £35 to pay off moro with my counted coppers:j

    I am 3 20ps sort of another £10 lol

    Have also found a pile of stuff to list on ebay and washed it. Need to get 5 dresses dry cleaned in the week as well. Am getting so excited about seeing my credit card bill total get slashed month after month.
    How very sad :o

    I am hoping to have cleared £1500 by the end of this month. Has anyone else got a figure in their heads that they would like to do by Feb 1st??
    Make £10 a day, October 2023 - £105/£310
  • Yipppeeeeee!!!! i am off the mark with my payment of £162.19 to my loan!!!! Just have to wait till payday now around the 10th (as 10th is a sun so maybe earlier).

    Patience was never my strong point!!!!!:rolleyes:

    This month is not looking good for me :( I was paid early last month and with all the Christmas shopping this month is looking very lean indeed. I'm going to lose the progress I had made on my OD and I'm concerned I'm going to have to draw money off of my CC to make my mortgage. Not a good start to the challenge.
    On the bright side I have got my new phone contract sorted out (if I hadn't my line rental would have gone up from £10 to £20 *Eeek*) I'm also expecting to get about £50 from stuff I've sold and my cost cutting exercise is going well. I managed to do my food shopping for £5.50 this week (my target is £10) I know it's easier this month with all the leftover food from Christmas but still £5.50 is really good in my book and means that I can put nearly £5 in my savings jar :)

    It's good to hear that everyone else is doing so well already :)

    Is anyone keeping a tally of what everyone has paid off??

    It would be easier to do a mass update once a month on the first starting Feb.

    I can convert the members list into a spreadsheet and convert the spreadsheet table into a table which formats into this forum hopefully

    Woop! I'm 100! Strangely that motivates me even more, it's all the 1's and 0's that do it. Tee hee.
