    Morning

    Not been on alot recently but I am squirreling away. Paid £400 off cc, 36.71 off one loan and 47.00 off another. Grand total is below. Would like it to be more but have to eat! To that end I've started to plant seeds to grow some of my own food so may be able to make more of a saving in the summer. Good luck everyone. looking through the posts it really seems like we're all on a roll!!

    Number 37 reporting in.

    We have decided not to go abroad on holiday this year and we are going to use our annual leave to visit family and friends in the UK. So I have taken the holiday savings out and added it to the normal planned payments and have reduced the debt by £3,700 this month, bringing the total paid off in 2011to £6850. :)

    (sarahs999/jwil- hope this helps with the feb overall total!!!)


    37. My life - £6,850/£24,000

    Wow, well done My life!:T

    Can I join in? I'm going to start with one debt, clear that and then start another. That way, i won't scare myself too much!
    So can I put down £505 - this is debt number one - JD wills.
    Thank you:j

    Welcome maid in cornwall! No probs, I'll add you to the first page now. Good luck with the debtbusting! :)

    think i may have been over ambitious in paying of £500 as soon as i got paid. i dont get paid again until the 18th March and i have barely any money left!!!! oh dear.

    i have about £30 in my account which needs to stay there for dd's. i will have £30 in on monday for child benefit and thats really it. so i need to make £30 last a fair while or use my credit card. i so do not want to do that. wish me luck xx

    Good luck affordmylife!

    Thanks for all the updates everyone, there are some fantastic totals being achieved!

    Happy Payday for me today! :j:j:j As ever, it's all disappeared out of my account fairly rapidly. I've paid £476 this morning, but only £226 of that counts for this challenge. That will probably be me for this month, but I do have other payments due out during the month which will count for next month.

    I really can't wait til this money is all mine again!
