So, had to do the last of my Christmas shopping yesterday and had a budget.......I was really pleased as I only overspent by £6.00!!!!!! But I got EVERYTHING that I needed :j:j
Am currently without a PDL...........but only until 1st January :mad::mad::mad:

2 days till PDL day :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Just keeping myself focused. We will be borrowing less this month than last month, so we are moving in the right direction :j

Just a quick little update, managed to reduce the PDL down to £750 this month :mad:
Think it will be much less next month as tax credit hits the bank on 1st - the same day the bills come out.
Still plodding along and can't wait till our wages are all ours and not Wonga's!!!!

So, 1 PDL settled today!!!! Looking at my figures for next month, we will only need to do £400.......that's £350 less than this month........we're getting there!!!!!:j:jDebt Free Date 1st August 2016 Sealed Pot Challenge #140

Hi Emily,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while.
Well done for hopefully only needing half the amount of payday loan this month :T:T.
Do you think if you are careful this may be your last one?
You are doing so well, Keep it up xx0 -

Thanks Steph and Lucky
Yes Steph, I think this will be the last one (fingers crossed). We were worried because car had its MOT on Wednesday but luckily it only cost £74 and we had this money available.
The last few months have been a struggle and money has been extremely tight, as it will be in February, but I am optimistic that there will be no PDL in March
:D

Feeling really optimistic this morning. Instead of feeling sick every time I see the Wonga advert, I now feel happy that this will (hopefully) be the last PDL we do with them :j:j
