    Well I'm doing well at overpaying the CC this month, all my little fleabay payments are going on there when they come in. However, because we're using the credit card instead of cash it's making it confusing to know how much my total left to pay is as the balance is going up and down.

    Kerri we're having the same problem too, so I've decided to only update at the end of the month (the day before payday).

    We've been pretty bad this month, I think what with the money moving all over the place we seem to have increased our debt, so I'm currently running at a minus figure :eek:, however we've still got £400 in bank with two weeks left to go too so it doesn't seem too bad.

    Forgot to say that I've been quite ill with a sickness bug since Monday, now only just starting to eat properly, but the plus side is I've lost half a stone!

    Hi NSK, welcome to PAYDBX13 :wave:

    Payday on Friday and I need to really sort the finances out. Borrowed from the savings funds this month and had to put vets bill on CC for lil' kitty. My bonus is already accounted for, ggod job I got it! Hoping though to pay £650 off the CC, wish my statement would hurry up and come (never thought I'd say that:p) so I can see where I'm at and finally update my totals. I worked out it should be about £2050 (before my Friday payment)

    No payments today but rang secured loan company to request up to date settlement as I use this as my balance figure. Checked the interest being charged each month and it is £75 less than I had been using to calculate my monthly debt reduction. The upshot is I may have paid off more than I have calculated:D
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75

    I'm feeling very short on the money side of things this month... No idea how it's happened, as I've had a reasonable budget. I have £150 to get me through to the end of the month, but I need to buy new and decent work clothes. Dunno what pot to steal the money from for that! Will have a nosey in the charity shops.
