    goodgirl (and everyone else!) keep going, you can do it! You've made a great start and there's some good advice from sarahs999 too.

    wellll

    the three pairs of shoes/boots came annnnnnd

    only one fit so i only spent £19.99. how cool is that.

    i got paid today and have paid off £300 to virgin credit card and hope to make a further payment by the end of the month but i have to be careful to leave enough money in the account to cover my centre parcs trip in a couple of weeks and food for the month. if im super good i will be able to make another good payment this month.

    so i have paid a total of £348.76/£3,500. off this month. please update thank you xx

    Got money into my bank account for an Amazon sale earlier in the month so paid off another £26.26 today to Virgin. That takes me over the £1k mark paid off Virgin since November! I can't believe it!

    Hi number 127 reporting in,

    Thanks jwil.

    Current progress is
    £45 / £4,600 so far. This looks as good as it might get for Jan unless I can come up with some ideas.

    Computer is misbehaving so that makes my intended foray into ebay and amazon dejunking a bit tricky. A new laptop is likely to be an additional expense to consider in the next couple of months or more.

    On the positive side my debt is slightly smaller than I thought. The target remains the same.

    polka purpura
    PAD to date: £1166-22

    Pay off as much as you can #127: £4,600 (£2,300 debt / £2,300 saved)in 2011.£660 / £4,600.(debt paid 28.7%; target 14.3%).

    Sealed pot challenge 1292: £0 (target £600 by 31-12-11)
