    Next month I'm gonna have to wait until I've paid my MOT and car tax before I can decide how much debts I can pay off... :-( feeling sad like its not going to happen.

    Well done all. Goodgirl, you will of course get there becasue you are determined, but it is very frustrating when you have bills to pay and have to budget. But it's all part of the game. I feel the same!

    Made a payment of £250 to M&S CC today, taking me to £6083.04/£6000 paid :j
    It means I have met my first target, so would like to increase it to £10000 please :p It sounds like a huge amount, but when I start working full time in September I don't want to get too used to having the extra money and not increasing what I pay towards my debts.
    I would be sooooo well off if I wasn't having to pay off all these debts :mad:. Either that, or I wouldn't be having to go to work full time.

    I feel so stupid when I think of how these debts have mounted up over the years. I don't really have anything to show for it.

    I think most of the people on this board are here because of running up debts on things they don't have the benefit of now - I would much rather have 2 grand in my bank from the last 6 months, but at least this time next year all my wages will be MINE!!! Muahahaha!! :D

    Well done on getting to your target, even if it is just your first one! _party_

    Hi Jwil

    I have decided to include all of the £977.13 as paid. I would have paid the balance off in August anyway if they had waited.

    So £977.13 paid and £125 direct debit for this months debt repayment.

    Now £3602.13/£6000 no 47

    I have now passed my halfway mark:j
    Smile loan - £2821.98 / £0:)
    Lloyds CC - £3102.54 / £3071.51
    B'Card - £7615.65 / £7444.30
    Bank of mom - £6000 / £6000
    28/02/17 £ 19,540.17 / £16515.81 05/04/17
