    Not a bad start for January month then - well done everyone :T

    So after ebaying and clearing my paypal account, a payment from Swaggers, a payment from M*Survey, £6 from my 20p jar and rounding down my accounts in line with my budget spreadsheet - I have managed another over payment of £150.

    so my current balance is

    #3 £1,229 / £10,000

    and brings my loan under £13k - whoo hoo :j Cant wait for sub £10k - that will be a momentous occasion for me lol.

    Hello

    Number 24 checking in here, been keeping up but not posting as had a bit going on lately.

    Not got as good a start as i hoped but most of my time to pay off will be later in the year due to big holiday in march - booked before debt busting...

    I have almost paid off one overdraft :)

    So current total is..................

    £1047.90 / £15,000
    Updating .................................................
  • Just realised I managed to short-change myself yesterday, so when I posted on here I knocked £150 off what I'd paid instead of adding it on!:rotfl:

    So correcting that, and adding on today's payments, I'm now up to £3,152.19/£10,000. So £6,847.81 to hit my target!
  • #67 £5850.93/£6000

    This months payments made .. Think I might up the target abit although things will slow right down now x
    POAMAYC #67 in 2013 £6304.93/£6000
    In the negative (to the not so nice) tune of £19771.50 ... 31.8% Paid :)
