  • hi

    only managed to pay off £10 this week making my total £498.12. i've put dd money in other account but none has gone out yet. stopped doing spending diary but now feel like i'm not in control of my money, does that make sense? only did diary for 3 weeks & can see what a difference it made to the way i was spending. will definitely be starting it again tomorrow

    well done everybody

    £780/£8000 paid- almost 10% - need to up the ante from Mar when our council tax goes down as we moved middle of last year and the DD got messed up- currently paying £300 per month!!!!:eek:

    Good luck to everyone else- I wonder how much we've repaid this so far??

    Well done everypne. Last day of Jan today - so totals should be totted up soon! Don't think we'll hit the £83k we need to set us on the road to £1 million paid off, but it will still be a good start. Heads down for Feb!

    Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for a few days, but I'm back with a vengeance and got loads of totals to update, yay! :j

    Welcome to Jacci, good luck with the debtbusting! :)

    It's payday for me today, hurrah! My 0% credit cards have arrived, so I think my finances are all in order now, so I should be able to see some movement now.

    As today is the last day of the month, I shall count all updates up until Midnight as being January ones, and then all updates after midnight tonight as being February ones. Then tomorrow I shall post a total of what we've paid off so far. I can't wait to see it after speedys teaser :beer:

    If we keep going at this rate, then we should be able to give the banks one hefty kick up the rear by the end of the year :T
