    Happy Sunday all :)

    Hope the bad weather hasn't been too bad for you all, being on the south coast we haven't seen any snow at all. We just had a few flakes come down. But it is very chilly

    So I am now addicted to this payment thing. Another £1 today bringing it to £4. I figured I might tie it into my NSD so allocate myself something each day and if I don't spend it, it goes into the pot. Will be using these payments to pay Bank of Mum and Dad some money back.

    Jub :D

  • Hi all was hoping that somebody was gonna add up how everbody was doing and post but maybe as there are so many of us now that might be a mamouth task.
    Well didnt go to my zumba class last week so paid the £5 of C.C. so that was my extra payment last week.
    :T Total paid to date is £53.01:T.
    £5.00 + £53.01= 58.01 lets hope I can keep this up.

    I just want to send an apology to everyone on this thread, I did promise that I would add up our total at the end of January and post it for us all to see. As you will know I haven't done that yet. My husband's mother has been admitted to hospital and so he has had to leave the country to be with her. That has left me with the boys and a struggling situation. I'm so sorry to have let you all down and I do promise I will post the total soon.

    I have also missed a week last week in my payments. I'm struggling to hold everything together at the moment :( so I will get back to it asap. In the meantime keep it up guys you are doing so well.

    Aplogies again

    Sorry to hear that you are not having a good time and I wasnt having a dig at you about the totals, just remarking, as i thought i had got it wrong, again. But without you setting up the group I would never have started paying off my debts, other than the minimum like i had been doing, so THANK YOU very much. I sometimes am running around chasing my tail and just cant get to the bank to make a payment, so if you miss one dont beat yourself up about it just think of all the times you have done it.
    Regards

    WOW, well done everyone, we have paid off an extra ........£10245.68 so far in 2012!!! :jI have gone back to the 20th January and added each persons totals so if there is anyone who did not update their signature after the 20th then they will not be included int his total so it could be even higher. I am really sorry it has taken me so long to do the total for Jan but things are difficult at the moment. I will try to keep updated now.

    I am soooooo proud of us all. Lets see how much we can all do in February and remember every little helps. Don't get disheartened if you see someone is able to pay much bigger sums than you, it's all relative to our own situations. :beer:
