Pay off as much as you can in 2011 Challenge!

Hi,

I didn't manage to make any additional payments for January as I suspected.

A payment of £20 for me today. It's nice to be making inroads again if only in a small way.

I've updated my signature.

January is always a tight month money wise for me, but I managed to pay £125 on top of my minimum payment.:j

Well done Walnut! That's a brilliant amount of overpayment! How are you managing that?

polka purpura - as much as I hate sounding like T*sco's - every little helps, I find that any amount added to the total makes a difference and makes you feel more positive about adding more.

Thank you.

My husband did some extra hours one week which helped. Also just saving little bits here and there seems to be leaving me with enough money to pay off extra. For example I no longer go into town unless I really have to as the parking charges went up again in January:(. So I only shop at the farm shop & supermarket at the moment, and put the parking money towards my bills.

Hi Everyone,


Well it's the 1st of the month and though I have a huge unexpected bill to pay :mad: I am determined to get rid of this debt which is stopping me being the person I normally am - the happy carefree one not the one worrying all the time about bills So I have made a small payment of £11.60 to bring the debt down a bit £616.01/10,000

As long as you pay off as much as you feel you can comfortably afford, it's better than letting spiral out of control by just paying the min! Just don't get the laptop on HP!!!!!!!

The laptop will be paid for on my credit card AFTER I've saved the cash value up and used that as a lump sum payment towards the card (but I won't count is as a payment for this threads purpose, unless I manage to "save" some money ) I want to have the added protection of buying on a credit card and I also know that I'll have to replace my decrepit printer at the same time So hoping to haggle a deal I'll also shop around as much as possible. I am not buying another second hand laptop after this one started playing up 2days out of warranty :mad:
