    MY new updated figure is £1072.43:T. Smashing through the £1000 mark is very satisfying. This was regular credit card payments. Going to find it hard from here on as the house has been decluttered of stuff to sell on ebay and i need to find £600 as a shortfall for childcare by the end of August so everything now will be going on the childcare. I will still make the regular payments and try my hardest to make some extra payments where possible. I wnat to be free of this horrible debt which is like a weight round our necks.

    Well done on getting past the £1000 mark, it's always satisfying!

    hi everyone. hope you are all having a lovely easter. i just got paid today and have paid £150. to my one remaining debt. how wonderful does that feel.

    so my new total is £2000/£3500. that feels pretty good i can tell you. if i can pay £500 for the next three months then im done. thats pretty tough going but im sure going to try. i will hopefull make another payment later this month when i see how much i have left in the account.

    have a great month everyone. and roll on next payday xx

    Well done on getting to £2k. How great would that be to hit target in 3 months time. Good luck!

    thanks jwil. enjoy your easter break xx
  • I get paid tomorrow, early because of all the bank holidays. Which always seems BRILL when it rolls around early but not so hot by the end of the month! I plan to pay £400 tomorrow which will take my total to £4752/£8283. Then I'll have my regular payment of £295 incl. interest and I'll pay another £400 on the 5th when I get OH's money towards bills and mortgage. Hoping to get my debt under £3k in April.


    So since I won't be on tomorrow, I'll post my updated total now:

    £4752/£8283 :j

    Morning All

    Just a small over payment this month for me i'm afraid of £13.29 and the standing order payment of £200.00 to the Egg card.

    Have eventually hit the £1K mark!!!!!!!!! yeah it felt like it was never going to get there!

    We have had an expensive month so far with a holiday in the caravan, so all ebaying sales went towards that. Would of liked to make more payments to the Egg card, but have my car to road tax at the end of the month £155. :( Have challenged myself to try and sell ebay stuff to raise this amount! Lots of luck needed I think!!

    Have a nice easter break!

    £100 overpayment to clubcard to start off the easter holiday. I'm supposed to wait until payday in case I need the cash but there's another £200 I've got earmarked and I'm itching to do something!
