  • Whoosh... Where did the weekend go to - flown by again. can't wait to see the back of this month as I really do hate Jan. & Feb. Roll on the spring for a bit of sunshine & longer days

    It's getting to the time of the month when I'm just wanting payday again.

  • Can't wait for payday early next week. Need to do March budget when payday arrives plus also need to calculate total debt. Everything is getting paid & we are not overspending so overall debt should be down in line with the overall plan.

    No council tax for 2 months is something i'm certainly looking forward to.

  • Just did the March budget & overall totals & debt is still reducing in line with the general plan.

    Total debt has reduced by £3,280 since LBM. Debt-busting defo is a hard slog but the next target is sub £34k total debt

    Not a bad day weather-wise so shall hopefully go out running later after work.

    Couple of CC payments due next week so won't be too long to get below the £34k debt total.

    The plodding is certainly hard work, but oh so worth it!! You're doing really well :beer:

    Another CC payment today so total debt down another wee bit.

    Very busy week at work but also a frugal week so far.

    Gonna chill this weekend & hopefully go out running later today if the weather stays dry. If not it's the treadmill.

    My debt-busting mission certainly is a long haul, but now starting to see a very small glimmer of light at the end of the long dark debt tunnel.

    Tired tonite... trained 4 days out of 4 so far this week so need a rest tomorrow.

    Got a bit of extra expense this month but it's in the budget.

    Couple of debt payments off next week so debt will be down a wee bit more

    Hi Hopeful,

    Hope the weather stays dry for the football.
    Mothers day tomorrow so probably a bit of lunch somewhere.
