    Thanks for the updates everyone, it's all looking good!

    I always get a nice warm glow when I put the first 'blue' payment against someone's name and target on the first page, it's like a hefty kick to the banks! How sad am I?? :p

    No 39 reporting for duty-sorry been awol but jan was slow month

    Today I paid.

    £883.67 Lloyds loan-paid in full balance now 0:j

    £150 Barclays overdraft= £1700 remaining:(

    £494.81 Lloyds overdraft-paid in full balance 0

    £974.42 very catalougue/ndr-paid in full balance 0:beer:
    glad that ones gone as whopping 44percent interest felt like was getting no where

    Got final figure for barclaycard and paid what I thourght was full:( £1735.46 then phoned and realised had to pay further 44.66 and may need to pay couple of quid on march statement, they a nightmare to deal with so want that 0 and gone.

    transfered some money to hubby to pay his cc this month but not including that figure until its paid.

    Hes also got his loan going out next week so next update will be then.

    Just need to work harder to clear my 1700 remaining.
    hoping for tax rebate that may mean one of hubbys cards cleared in next few months hope so.

    Need to go do tea-will update sig later but feel its been good start to the year.

    Nice to see everyone doing so well.

    thanks jwl for running this as found last 2years its the annual challanges that kept me focussed.

    Might start doing payment a day in order to make overpayments.

    Thanks for the update gailey, does that mean your total payments to add to your total are £4238.36? Well done if so!

    If it's not right, could you please let me know and I'll change it.
