    Just had to part with 900 of my hard earned for new gearbox. This weekend I will get money out for paying holiday in America, keep enough in account to pay 2 loan payments due on Monday. Also will fill up with petrol to make sure I have enough. Every other penny will be going straight to my smallest loan. Aiming to tackle smallest first. So between emptying account and loan payments I should manage to put away about 750 this next couple of days so total money to debts will be up over 1400 already. Payday Friday should allow another payment to debts. Cannot wait to get rid of all this debt by the end of June. Aiming for 30% by 20th Feb. That is 4,150 off by then so 2700 to find!
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    Wow you are doing brilliantly on your debt loss and weight loss! xxx


    Awww thank you! Its so nice having your support to spur me on :)

    Although I have to admit Im having a bit of a bad night on the diet front, it started with a pub meal with the family and has now turned into a binge on jaffa cakes, jammy dodgers and iced gems! Ooooopsie! Im just hoping the killer gym classes Ive been doing this week will sort of even it out :rotfl:

    ... can you tell I'm having a sneaky drink?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I too am having a sneaky drink! I am calming myself down because I realised tonight that I have a MASSIVE deadline on Thurs for Uni and I have been obsessing about paying my debts and done NO work at all. Doh!

    :( Trying hard...failing miserably :(

    Oh sorry Jemma did I not say that it was another false alarm? She's dilated by about 1cm though, so that' progress, and he's locked & loaded. She's trying every trick in the book to get him out though hehe.

    Everyone's doing really well, even those that haven't paid anything yet at least you're now thinking about how to cut costs. Baby steps remember :)

    I'm just about done with my freelancing work for the evening, so can have a cheeky can of Newcie Brown. I suspect at this time of night I will be alone in this!

    Great work as always Jemma, don't worry about the weight loss.... the weight off our shoulders for debt busting should be enough!

    ooh when do you get paid??? xxx

    on the 19th I moved over the last 6 quid out of my account today to pay off a little bit more of my credit card and am living on the change in my pocket still. Look after the pennies and all that. :)
