    People, we are miles behind this month! Hopefully we'll get some more updates as we are getting into payday season, but we've got a long way to go to catch up with previous months.:(

    I know, I could see from the lack of posts we were going to be behind. Oh dear. Well, still a third of the month to go. I think lots of people get bonuses etc at the beginning of the year that make it look like we're miles ahead - artificially inflating ourselves! Never mind. GOt loads of time to catch up.

    I'm doing my best but I think this month is hard for everyone with two lots of bank holidays looming, holidays booking, weddings to attend, NI to pay, tax to pay, council tax is back etc-March is officially a crap month:mad:. I will be way away from my target this month:eek:.

    A lot of people on here seem to get paid between the 25th and 31st though so hopefully there'll be a flurry in the next week or so. I for one will be making a big overpayment on Friday! Haven't paid anything in March so far, been a horrible month! Bring on April I say...

    ive been paid and made my monthly payment but i would really really like to pay another £150 off this month if i can. this would take me to exactly half of my debt paid off which in 3 months id be pretty chuffed with.

    it may be possible if im careful but i dont want to leave myself short like i did last month. i have mothers day and my dads birthday plus an expensive meal out in the next week or too but im going to try really hard xx

    Yes, we've only had updates from 49 people this month so far, and have not even made £35k yet. I'm sure as people start getting paid they will pop in and update us.

    We'll get there!
