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!!£3707.05/£10,0000 -
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!!!)

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!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
