    im guessing quite a few peeps must get paid at the end of the month as there are about 40 people who havent yet started. this time last year that would have been me. signing up and then bottling it cos the lure of the shoes was too much.

    no longer. im totally committed and am dreaming of paying off money. i dont want to wish my life away but im living for the next payday so i can make another payment. paying off debt is the new shopping lol xx

    Am still lurking but with every intention to get myself organised and totalled up so far. Probably will do this at the end of the month when I can really focus on what happened this month, and set a proper budget for next month etc etc.

    I will post where I'm up to then. Totally agree that this is motivational, I love seeing how well everyone is doing.

    :T
  • we also get paid on the 31st this month! and usually it's the last working day of the month....so I will probably be the last one posting each time lol :p

  • I have been paid, but will be paying a lump sum to my debts on 1st Feb, just need to see how much I can cobble together by then! The person I owe the money to will think it's weird if I keep putting 12p or whatever into their account through the month!

    Just put £50 into my overdraft, which takes it within it's limit thankfully (at least until the charges come off, but I can't afford to put any more in my O/D until next month.

    Takes my new total to:

    116. Daeheryn - £227.01/£2,000
