    Morning jwill, I haven't updated for months and I daren't lol I can't remember when I updated last? Lol I'm feeling the woes of te negative finance at the moment it feel so intimidating :-/ x

    Hey happy, thanks for popping in! It was ages ago you updated, I think you were around £6k paid. (It's on the first page). If you do have something to add, it will be most welcome :)

    I'm also struggling at the moment, but in the process of recalculating everything to see where I am. Not fun :eek: We'll be rich one day :cool:

    With my PAW tomorrow I will hit 50% of my target :j

    Doh!!!!
    I feel I right idiot.....

    I have obviously been looking at figures too much and got goggle eyed.

    I thought I was so close to my 50% target but find that I wasn't looking at the numbers correctly and I am still £500 away.
    How disheartening.....well that will teach me to check and check again.....and I wonder how I got in this financial mess in the first place :o

    Well PAW made and running total now £2507.89/£6000 :o

    HI jwil and everyone else,

    I have not updated this month yet as my figure has not changed :o. Its been a bad one for me - I lost my young horse last Friday :( which incurred some vet bills, my tenant has not paid the full rent due to problems and has promised they are sorting it and I have felt to low to even be bothered to do my usual scraping and selling and surveys.

    Will bounce back soon though.

    Well done to those that have managed a good month, they are always a good feeling :T

    lam2011 so sorry to hear that.

    i got paid today and have just paid £250 off my debt so new total is £3,050/£3500. im really pleased with that and now only owe £450. if i had a brilliant month i could pay that off next month but im off on holiday tomorrow and im sure there will be some relaxed spending going on - lol. still im nearly there so i wont stress about it.

    have a good month everyone and see you all soon xx

    Awww... so sorry Lam2011. Don't be too hard on yourself, we are all having bad money months at some point or other so try to just draw a line under it and start a fresh next month.
