    Hi everybody

    How brilliant does it feel that another person on this thread has paid off their debt?! Even though I don't know Barbeduk, I can only imagine how great it must feel and feel happy for them!

    I have paid off LOADS today myself :D Is payday and me and OH got our bonuses paid today :D We have put all of it towards our debts. I was weighing up the idea of paying off wedding stuff with it but decided that we will focus on the wedding debt we have accumulated next year and focus on the old debt this year. Since becoming part of this thread, I have kept track of all our debt incomings and outgoings quite well so know exactly what is what! With only 14 weeks to go till we get married there is more and more debt adding up but its all managable at least :-)

    So my update is.....

    #056 £4,562.74/£9,793.81 (46.59%)

    Really really happy with this total :D Gonna push massively to get it up to 50% over the next month. Dunno if we will manage 100% by Christmas but gotta aim for the top!

    I've just figured out a way to pay off my CU loan, which is the only debt I'm paying interest on at the moment :) Hopefully this will be done next week, and will take me well under the 2k mark. Kerri I'm right behind you!!

    Update:
    #068 4297.10/6492.82 66.18%
    Eep! And if you pay off that loan you'll be ahead of me, I best up my game then!

    If I manage it, I'll be just over 1900 :D Mwahahaha I'm back in the game!


    Hope you all have a lovely weekend... I'm shattered as I shared a bed last night with sortofmum and woke up every time I turned over! Bed to myself tonight, apart from 2 kitties, so I can't wait to get into it!

    Thanks spagbol! I just can't wait for payday now so I can hopefully go past that £1000 mark,
    Im having a bit of a fight within myself at the moment, I'm one of these people that never does things slowly, I'm an all or nothing girl :o
    Same here but I have to watch my resolve slipping!! Luckily I am still focused on this and hopefully you will be too thanks to this thread :)

    :)Morning all!

    Feeling rather grumpy today. Despite all my exercising this week and eating fairly well, I've lost no weight at all. Had a rant at the WiiFit man, called him a liar who was sulking cos we'd not used him all week, yes I know, I sound bonkers! :rotfl:
    Perhaps your good week will show next week? I lost 1lb after being really good last week, not so good this week but had a 4lb loss! :j:j Don't give up :)

    And you know what? I've just come back from town, spent £3 in the pound shop!!!

    Has taken all morning to sink in, was initially a huge anti climax but now I can't stop grinning like this :D.

    Could I honestly say that I couldn't have done it without you lot :A:A. So here's a dodgy hug for each and every one of you.:grouphug:

    Now just a small matter of the mortgage, £196,000. Interest only. Holy macaroni we don't do things by halves!!

    Have a fab Friday everyone.
    WELL DONE!!!! :j:j:j:j:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::T:T:T:T:T:T

    That is fantastic! So are you going to stick around on this thread and inspire us as a MFW? I hope so!!
