I'm going a little bit bonkers waiting for payday. I'm still staring at spreadsheets and roaming around the house looking for things to sell...I have an item on g'tree that should sell for about £200 this week but it still isn't TODAY:mad:

Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me and I need to chill out?!! I have two jobs so I like the two paydays and then DH's payday makes 3 but then there is a period of about 2.5 weeks (i.e. now for another 7 days :eek:) that I just can't settle waiting to pay the next card off. I'm also twitchy about when I will get my tax rebate, tax office say in June or July :eek:

{must get a grip, must get a grip}

Well done on your payments everyone :j

I'm exactly the same! Except that I've spent a bit of money this month on things I didn't 'need' but 'wanted'. Not loads though. I did empty all my pots into my debts so now have to refill them at the end of the month Every penny is a prisoner

Phew, glad it isn't just me! It means I'm determined to pay it off I suppose, it just feels like I'm wishing my life away for the next payday

DH is doing a carboot on Sunday and we'll get some money from g'tree and eb@y, I'm also expecting some cheques from z@pper and mm@gpie but I've also got outgoings before next week....and I am sooooo impatient!!! :eek:

Hi, long term lurker here......

I'd really like to join this challenge, but, alas, my debt is still too big for me to have it all paid off by the end of 2012. However, I would so love to be rid of my Next account and half of my loan by the end of this year. It's a huge challenge for me, but would be achievable if I really focused my mind on it. Do you think it would be possible for me to join you.....?

What do you need from me to get the ball rolling!?! My overall total is £21,175.54. But I would like to pay off £6534.22 by christmas.

Many thanks in advance and I'm really excited about joining you all.

I go through phases and right now I'm in that phase... really want to do a car boot on sunday but not sure if i've got enough stuff together as it costs £12 here for a stall!
And while we are kinda wishing our lives away from one payday to the next, it also means we can start living more as soon as that debt is gone

That is no problem In fact, I'd set your target but secretly aim for more! When Jemma next updates, she will give you a number but you can post and chat and join in anyway. :j

Thanks, it's difficult to know how much of a target to set, but in years past, I seem to set them so high that I fail and then feel like giving up! So, I shall try my very hardest to get as much paid off as possible and hopefully it will be higher than my target.

I see you are running at Hylands, that's not far from me. Good luck!
