Hello All,
Another month end and another payment on the credit card.
I will not be debt free by XMas as I have just upgraded my car :T
But none the less payments have gone out today.

Eddi, it was bras last year....this year apparently shoes
Ah yes - I knew it was an underwear item :rotfl:
On a more serious and much less dodgy note, hopefully something will crop up again soon new job-wise for your OH. The interview feedback from this last time can only help can't it.Just paid 9p off my overdraft :rotfl: Thats all that was left in my account!
:T Excellent work. I like your style0 -
Hello Everybody!!
PAYDAY TODAY!! :beer:
Just in from work, made payments to all my debts, got an unexpected £45 rebate from O2 and got some big cuddles from my grumpy kitty, so feeling pretty blimmin' good.
£200 to my loan
£100 to my overdraft
£100 to catalogue
£150 to my credit card
I am hoping to make some extra payments this month to get it down a wee bit more.
So, my new total:

Hi, payday today, so time for an update!
My total debt has increased slighlty, as there were a couple of unexpected costs this month!
#138 £705.71/£8,636.46

I can update my total!
£1,683 / £4,100
:j Nearly there.
DFS is being put back a month because I'm going to pay my insurance outright - makes sense as it's 20% interest or something over the year. It's only £375 so it's not too much I suppose!0 -

Fantastic work everyone, well done for all the payday payments :j:j:j
I will update the monthly total for February tomorrow so keep them coming! (Sorry everyone for decreasing the total by about a grand! :eek::o)DMP started Oct '17: £79,974 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:0 -
Will not be posting an update till later, in March as MOT is due tomorrow and it has just cost me over £400 for houndies to go to the vets :eek:
Expect the car to cost quite a bit, so there may be no overpayment from me this month, may have to even dib into the total I have frugled away
On the plus side thanks to this site and this thread for keeping me motivated, I have (fingers crossed with car costs) managed to pay for this in cash savedMortgage Owed: Sept 14 - £107398.200 -
I'm loving all the payments (big and small) today! Well done everyone
I also forgot to say hello to the new names yesterday - good luck with the challenge!
Spag It's a shame about the tax bill, but at least it's a new month, and it can only get better! Can you please update for below:
#141 382.54/3250 = 11.77%
I'm off 'home' this weekend and I'm very excited! I need some rest and recuperation. While I'm there I'm going to be robbed by my dentist for a £100 filling and a cleaning :eek: And I'm not going to contact any estate agents to arrange any house viewings :rotfl:0
