Hello folks

payday today 2011 is gearing up to be a busy one but one of the goals is to clear my CC's, overdrafts and most of my graduate loan. really enjoy all of the entries. am going to try and pretend that pay day did not happen so that I won't get too happy and start spending. so far my running total is £1145/ 6000 will need to step it up a bit am so far so good:j

I had a sneaky look yesterday Jwil (slow day at work!) and we need to pay off another £39k to get to our monthly target! Hopefully lots of people will get paid in the next week and will be able to post more payoffs...

Also noticed as I was totting up that there are quite a few people who haven't updated at all this challenge. Do you think they're still taking part? Hypno is one of them - she ran the original thread so I'd be surprised if she didn't have something good to report.

Thanks sarahs! Hopefully we've got some good numbers coming up, but there are a couple of people who I think are expecting large payments later in the year, so we may not make it every month.

Yes, there are a few who haven't updated, so it would be good to hear from them.

This month, I completely cleared the balance on my Cap1 card and aim to clear this balance any time I spend on it. Total paid off credit cards this month is £530.25 meaning that my Challenge Total is now £856.40.

My credit card debt total is now below £10000 so that's one embarrassed face removed from my sig (one face per £1000 cc debt).

Well done peaceandfreedom! :T

Hi,

I'm new and would like to join if it is ok - it will help motivate me, especially during the more challenging months.

I would like to clear £10000 this year - a nice round figure.

Thanks

Payday today so made an extra payment to the Tesco CC of £184. Getting the debt busting bug and can't wait until I get my new MBNA statement so that I can pay some more money!

Total now £744/£4000

Hi All, Should be writing my assignment so quick post and back to it before a quick break - Paid another £15 today - completely forgot about a bit of p/t work so that came in handy and transferred it immediately Also, it's showing my money for some MS's is due in monday - hope so if it is then that's straight off target 1 - along with my regular DD to it. Then I'll have to wait a few days as finally made the decision to sell the car - it's not worth me keep repairing it but i do need a vehicle *gets me to work* so may need some more money to cover a replacement banger. Will weigh it up over the next week as ideally i still want to pay off target 1 in March :T

£1096.31/10,000
