    hi everyone.

    I went food shopping yesterday. I had £38.12 in the bank and using my calculator as I went round I spent £37.15. ive never done that before. I usually just get what I want and put it on the credit card.

    yes its not a great deal of food but we wont starve and next week I get paid so will do a bigger shop.

    im right proud of myself.

    no payments to report however, but not adding to the debt is so positive.

    I get paid properly on 19th so another 11 days to go and another lump will be gone. maybe only one more payment after that if im super efficient xx

    NOt much progress this month as expected as i have 5 family birthdays and we had a abroad holiday but did make some progress if just a tiny bit

    ok heres my current debt as of today Starting £6971.00 Now £4,236.44 Paid off £2734.56 Start of year was £5012..so have paid off 39% off my debt? and 15.5% off the 5012 total since jan..

    so £4236 from 5k = £776 and 15.5%

    Hope you had a good holiday mummy2threeboys :D

    I had a quidco payment yesterday so I have just paid it onto a debt.

    Total now #11 - £7823.94 / £10,224 = 76.53%:j

    Ebay has really slowed down since the postage cost rises so my payments are getting fewer and fewer between the end of month main payments. I will get there though :D

    32b3 I've not listed much on eBay at all since the postage rises. My stuff wouldn't fetch much in the first place, but it's hard to get the balance of making the price appealing and making more than 20p.

    Happy Birthday to the eldest spag it seems to be my neighbour's kids birthday today too.

    I'm so sorry I can't get my brain around this :rotfl: Can you report your total paid off in the challenge so far like this:

    #00X £100 / £5000

    with #00X being your challenge number and the £100 the total paid off so far.

    Thanks, you have to be gentle with me I've got pregnancy-brain! :rotfl:
