    Welcome GB30. Of course it's not too late. Spag Bol is the one who will give you a number. When you make a payment if you do it in big writing like this:

    #1 £100/£1000 for example so that she can see it clearly. Good luck paying off your loan.

    Kerri I've got to wait a week for my payday too :( I could really do with the money too.

    Happy Friday everyone

    Another regular fortnightly payment today. As of next week I will be paying it weekly and will add the extra payments the day before I get paid.

    just worked out that I have £120 to last me until 17th june. oh dear me.

    out of that I need to take £20 dd pocket money. £20 my pedicure. money for day out in half term - probably £30. which leaves me precisely £50 for food for the next 23 days. ha ha ha that's going to be impossible especially since we have all the family here for a do on bank holiday Monday ill spend £50 on that alone.

    oh dear me out comes the credit card again. x

    Hi everyone,

    I've spent another month reading, but not posting much :embarasse, but well done to everyone on their payments.

    Its payday today :j:jso its time to do my sums and work out what I owe. We got an unexpected Dividend this week from some bank shares which paid off our OD so thats a real boost for the challenge.:D

    I've been a little bit naughty and ordered some fitted wardrobes for DD's room & put the deposit on the CC :o, but I'm not including that as debt as its on a 0% and will get paid off within a month or so.


    #18 £4965.52/£5160.38 96.22%
    Almost there !
    Its funny cos I'm now thinking about what do do when the debt is paid off - I really dont want to fritter all the extra cash away.
    I don't seem to be the type of person that can spend without feeling guilty :cool:

    Happy Weekend everyone!

    Ruthy
