    Woooooohoooooo!

    Just been through all the accounts and have moved across all the saved money from the various budgets, ebay sales (phenomenal month!) dress hire stuff from new year and I am delighted to report that i HAVE BUSTED THE TARGET!

    My January stats are:

    80/172.07% That's my best ever overpayment, and it will be a tight month next month, but hey, its worth the struggle to see the numbers falling!!!!!!

    Very, very happy girl today.

    Pre-emptive strike here now - doing my stats today as internet at home not working so cant do them tonight (but not really cheating as the payments will be out of my February money anyway - LOL!) and my payments so far represent 103.76% of my target!!!! Woohoo! In two weeks time I will be making another payment to Barclaycard so will update when that clears.

    Barclaycard payment has now cleared so have a chieved a new personal best total:


    126.69%/80%

    I'm thrilled with this figure, so thank you again for starting this challenge to keep me pushing against myself to get myself out of this whole.

    I am realistic enough (of course) to know I cant do this every month (most months it will be a real struggle to even make the 80% target I've set) but every time I think I cant be bothered on the ebaying etc I find the motivation by mentally watching the % increase!
  • Wow EB that is phenominal!
