yes i know that but it seems like a cheat cos i didn't actually do anything to get that % do you see what i mean? i didn't ebay something or cut back on my shopping or raid DD's money box :eek: (that i would never do no matter how desperate i get). it just went out of my bank as scheduledGoals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -

Just updated figs. Paid off £443.24 this month which is way more than 35% of spare money (which would have been £183) - it's more like 70%! The percentage paid off the debt this month is 5.3% PLUS gone down a £1k bracket - I couldn't be happier that's all been done in DecemberLoan - [STRIKE]£6991.95[/STRIKE]£6180.01; Barclays Res - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE] £0 - £22 per week :eek:, NWB Grad O/D - [STRIKE]£1185[/STRIKE] £887.86 18.28% SWALEC - [STRIKE]£700[/STRIKE] £0 NPOWER [STRIKE]£220[/STRIKE] £0 Kays - [STRIKE]£591.28[/STRIKE] £0 TOTAL DEBT - [STRIKE]£10,288.23[/STRIKE] £7,000.01 31.96 % Paid off.

They definitely do count Starnac! And you have done something for that money - you've been to work every day!

i've actually been stuck in work since sunday!!! back home now though. January pay should be good though
well done kat. that's a huge amount over what you were planning on paying.
good news here too. just paid off my O/D completely :j so have paid off just over 8% this month so that's over what i need to pay to reach my target. i'm really pleased but must not lose focus. onto the next one now which is the joint account O/D. that's bigger than mine was so will take longer. but paying off one debt has spurred me on. yay :beer:Goals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
