    Thanks for all the updates everyone. Great stuff!

    Not sure how I will reach my target this year now my DH is on SSP for the time being. I'm still going to give it a darned good shot though!

    Hope everyone is well and had a good weekend.

    I had a very exciting email from the national lottery this morning, telling me to check my ticket :j:j

    I won...... £2.50 woo hoo!:D

    So, in the interests of debt repayment and whole figures, I am going to transfer £3 to my credit card. :A

    Actually, to round up my total paid off so far to £3800, I'm going to make that a £6 payment :)

    £10,200 to go :eek:

    Well done jwil. Those tiny payments really do all add up. Sorry to hear about your DH.

    Another little payment of £10 today, taking me to £665/£6000 paid. my debts are on my mind a lot today- really want to pay as much as I can off this month, but am in danger of overdoing it and not having enough money to last the month :(

    Hi all - Jwil sorry again to hear about your hubby being off work at the mo. Hope he feels loads better soon ((hugs))

    Think I got a bit carried away - forgot about my mid-month DD's and paid some extra off my debt :eek:
    £1889.08/£10,000

    As long as I keep my p/t work up, and that the ebay buyers pay up fast should be ok :o Although OH has just suggested a night out this week which i really cannot afford :o:o

    Sold a few items on ebay this weekend, so that's another £26 overpayment made.

    £301.08/£4000

    I'm beginning to wonder if £4000 was a tad ambitious, but the first quarter of the year is always hardest for us with car tax and insurances to be paid, so I'll stick with it and hopefully get there in the end.

    Keep going Walnut. Every payment helps and you never know what you might be able to manage in the coming months.
