£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Well done on the payments Becs!

I still don't know how you manage to pay off as much as you do but keep chugging along and you'll have that figure starting with a 10 before you know it! :T

I think a 10 at the front is more than achievable especially how your paying off now must dash need the hair doing lol x

I hope so

That lloyds loan is coming down nicely too

Defnitely can't wait to see the back of that one! That will be my last Lloyds debt as well - at the beginning I had a CC, 2 ODs and 2 loans with them so will feel good to be rid

Almost forgot - another £74 paid, minimum payment to Barclays CC

It's only the 4th of November and you only have £132 left of your monthly payments to make! :T

This is the bit where it slows down as that's all my monthly wage used, now it's down to what extra I can earn!

£132 is good though, it's £188 to hit my percentage targets I set. That's my extra challenge I set for myself as if I make those each month I will be DF Oct 2012

£20 to the loan and 77p to savings

Saved £6 on Saturday on the fireworks. Rather than paying to go in to the park, a group of us sat on the wall of the carpark of the pub I work in and watched from there - prefect view and we got to have a beer at the same time

Almost forgot to say as well, tonight is my last night at the cleaning job that I ummed and aahed over for ages. I saw the guy on Saturday night down the pub and let him know. My schedule next few weeks made me think something has to go!

And breathe! All that with working 7 till 4:30 normal job anyway, plus trying to keep my own place sorted, cook proper food to save money, see OH and try to maintain a social life made me realise something had to give, and it may as well be the extra job I like the least out of all of them!

I'm exhausted just reading that!

You've definitely made the right decision. Make sure to do something fun soon - you've earned it.
