This is still my very favourite thread/ challenge

£148 off today AND lovely hard working husband got a £100 bonus :happyhearwhich means we don't have to dip back into the overdraft (I thought we would need £86 for one day on 12th). Although the overall total would have kept going down, the overdraft would have temporarily gone back up and now it that won't happen.

Updated sig! somehow made it through loonnnggg January with an extra £50 to put in the ISA, as well as the £700 DD that came out of my new paycheck. I have some comitments this month that may get a bit expensive (mum visit, etc) but if I can stick to my budget I may have bit more to put away. £10,000 doesnt look so impossible anymore!

Everyone is doing so well! Go us!

I'm waiting impatiently for my international transfer to go through so I can update again. *taps foot*

There I was, moaning around about my international transfer not going through yet and not being able to make payments... completely forgot about the UK payments!

Another 404 has gone off of UK things. Total now 3,121/10,000

Hey all,

Just got back from a week away with school, had a lovely week doing lots of outdoor activities, ate like a horse and it was all free. Had no internet for a week so was very excited to get back and check on direct debits going out to pay bills! Woop!

My update for the month is £529.51 so far!

Quick question . . £5,500 of our debt is money we borrowed off the in laws towards our wedding. We'd agreed to start paying £200 a month from Jan but as yet they don't want it off us as they want to sort a new bank account to transfer it into. Oh wants to let it build up in our bills account as back up, I think we should save it so we can give them a bigger first payment when they're ready. Any thoughts?

Hi All

Loumac - I would do your suggestion and keep it to one side. Otherwise the temptation is to spend it!

Shadydaz - is it ok if I give you an update for me at the end of the month? I have so many DDs I can't keep track, its much easier for me to do one total tot up at the end of the month.

Haven't been on for a few days again. Had a thing at hospital on Thurs - after 7 years of pain etc I have finally been diagnosed with Crohns disease. people keep telling me how sorry they are, but as far as Im concerned I've always had it, giving it a name doesn't make t more serious. And I can finally call it something and get treated woooooo!!!!

MOney wise I made a slight mistake of putting our weddi money in the joint account and some of it appears to have depleted... - should still have enough left for everything but I need to keep a much tighter reign on my spending and my budget.

Nevermind, I'm still learning
