Hi Dolly rocker I feel I've done not so bad so far(I really had no other choice) but I'm terrified that this month is going to set me back so I'm also looking forward to January so I can get back on track again, think I might sign up for some challenges next year maybe one challenge at a time and see how I go,this website has been a godsend so far. Hope everyone has a cheap and cheerful day ahead of them,I'm off to work soon so should be a LSD.LBM Jan 2012 £32355 now £23984.01

Dec 2015 is where I am aiming for as well! Still have a large amount of debt but am overpaying where I can and everything is on the least interest possible.
I budget on my basic wage and then any overtime/bonuses/instructors allowance gets split 1/3 to overpayment, 1/3 to emergency find savings and 1/3 to those things which make life enjoyable. My sons swimming cass fees or the occasional family meal etc.
My LBM was 12 months ago and I am just sitting here toting up. How I have done....
ETA - Have paid back 6170.82 in the last 12 months, in that time we have moved house, kitted out the kitchen, had an amazing MSE holiday (flights were wedding presents and my uncle let us use his apartment rent free for 10 days)
Feeling quite proud of that right nowBudgeting CC balance £0
