    Hey Penny! So glad you're back!slow-dance-smiley.gifslow-dance-smiley.gif
    Thanks for dropping by Mummy tea-party-smiley.gif

    Payday Again Tomorrow!!!! bunny-smiley.gif

    Need to figure out what my target is for next month reading-smiley.gif. I have £1645 left to clear and only 3 paydays (including tomorrow) left until I officially start my mat leave. That averages out at £550 roughly a month...........so this is my goal for August......... 0/£550 rioter-smiley.gif

    Fingers crossed this is achievable - or I can get as close to it as possible as this pregnancy journey is flying by.. and I NEED to be debt free by October!!!!sweat-smiley.gif

    Just need to see how fat the payslip is in the morning.......

  • Good luck with paying off £550 a month, i'm sure you will come up with a cunning plan and will manage it.

    Thanks Penny! I do hope so......... hug2-smiley.gif

    PAYDAY!!!! £1437 in and £400 out straight away in a big, fat, juicy BoS overpayment!!! kneel-smiley.gif

    £400/£550

    I love payday!!! love-shower-smiley.gif

    My cc Direct debit still hasn't come off this month - hopefully it will disappeaar tomorrow as I can't wait to add that money to my total.

    I have also started to sell all my boy bits that I was holding on to in case bubs was a boy - hopefully loads of debt busing pennies to be had there!money2-smiley.gif I'm already waiting on some paypal money clearing for bits that have already gone!

    Debt total today stands at £1245.18 61% paid off

  • So £150 to find then in August, so thats roughly £4.84 a day.

    That should be no problem for you BR.

  • You girls are the best!!! angel3-smiley.gif I need to go on a diary catchup - poor Mummy I've been promising to post on yours for ages! Penny do you have a new one now??

    Paypal money hit the account from selling some blue clothes. £38.50 is winging itsway to BoS as we speak!............. £438.50/£550..........£111.50 to find!!

    DD also came out of current account! £16.82. I'm sure only pennies of this will be interest but will wait till it is showing on my bill before I add any of this to my total. rock-smiley.gif

    Quite pleased with the overpayments so far....lets hope I can make a few more!!

  • Hi BR, yes have a new diary, but can't do the linky thing, but if you go to the end of my old diary the lovely moo2moo has done a linky for my new one.
  • Fantastic Penny - I'll need to hunt it out!

    No interest has been added onto the credit card so far? Estimated interest was only 4p (big-smile2-smiley.gif) on my statement anyway, so I'm just going to take the full DD amount off my total. I also made another OP this morning with the weekly tax credit payment (£10.25)

    Number Crunch!! ufo-smiley.gif

    £438.50 + £16.82 + £10.25 = £465.57/£550.......£84.43 to find

    Debt total stands at £1179.61

    Looking not too bad........if I do say so myself!
