    Hi all,

    I missed the banter today! Well done on sending over the cleaning money Becs, I don't know if I ever mentioned it but I used to clean the local cinema on Saturdays and Sundays, I had to get up at 5.30AM :eek:, the things we do for a few extra pounds eh? I've always said that when I earn enough and we have a house I will get a cleaner, I deem my time to be too value to spend it ironing and washing floors etc.....not sure that day will ever come mind :rotfl:

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Morning Bec's

    What's your current goal, is it to clear your o/d by the time you go to Borneo?

    What's your current goal, is it to clear your o/d by the time you go to Borneo?

    My aim for my overdraft is to clear it by Jul 11 when the 0% runs out - I am keeping the money in savings till then though so it can also act as an emergency fund. I have to save £6 a day to do this so it's quite a challenge!

    As a more short-term goal I am trying to get back to the same level of debt I had before paying for Borneo by the time I go - which was £21,275. I'm on track for this, in fact should hopefully be sub 21K by the time I go if I really push for it.

    Long-term my payments each month are a target for reducing my DFD to Dec 2012 - fell short of last months target by £100 or so, therefore this month is an even higher target and things aren't looking too good for this challenge :o

    Gotta keep trying though! :D

    What are your goals at the moment? x

    It really has been a long time coming this month!

    Although for the last week or so my balance has been at zero, I've been happy that for the first time in I don't know how long it has been zero, not miles into my overdraft!

    £200 sent to the loan today to really kick things off and just £1 added to the OD to round it up to £60. :)
