    i'm just down because i want to hit the £2k target and i'm not sure if it's possible............................I know I can do it!!!!!

    I would have done it if i didn't have to pay the remainder of my haven holiday (£66) kids school photos (£35) surprise rent arrears (£41) and birthday pressie (£30) lol so it was possible without these extra surprises lol

    £2k mark here I come!!!!!!

    There's always something isn't there. Here's to getting to £2k!

    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:.

    It is a tough month for sure, and with Easter and all the Bank holidays next month and May, it will probably be difficult there too.

    All we can do is keep plodding and do our best!

    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...

    Yes, I get paid on the last day of the month, so that is when most of my payments take place.

    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

    50% of your debt in 3 months would be fantastic, well done! :T

  • Still waiting on pay day here through next next should be much better, I'll be working part-time with weekly pay on top of usual work and my SAYE cheque will finally arrive and rumour has it our 5% pay cut will finally be re-instated a year after it was intended to be:j

    A week to go to the end of March and I am having a last minute squeeze of resources (ebaying etc) to try and crack the £3k paid off mark. Dont want to update until I know the final figure - will be back before month end. :D
  • Hi All

    Just made a payment of £15 to my credit card. Will have more updates by the end of the week once OH gets paid. I don't get paid until the week after (31st).
    Congratulations on all the overpayments.
