Minimum payment now paid for this month on the Credit card but unfortunately the small car needs a new radiator at £171 and booked in tomorrow - i could cry! Silly cars are costing us a fortune at the moment!!

Have made a payment of £171.20 towards the mortgage again this month. Will be able to continue making overpayments towards the mortgage as all of my credit cards have offered 0% deals so will be doing some shuffling from the end of the month:j

Another 23% cleared from the Barclaycard (added to the 12% already cleared = a total of 35% of this debt paid off)

Very pleased after £50 made on eBay after fees and postage costs have been taken out. Have broken the £1000 overpayment mark now for this year. A long way still to go though!

Got 14 things listed on Ebay so far, one with £5.26 bid so hopefully ill get a few more bids on them before they end. Hoping to list more at 99p today before ebay change things tomorrow.

Got a DFD of 18 months time, should have been March next year but realistically it likely wont be until later in the year so anything before Xmas 2015 will be a bonus. Our Loan doesnt end until Dec 2016 but hoping to pay this off a year early (which means saving up £3693.60 next year to do so)

Argh, best get back to my listings

That £50 has been paid off the loan taking it now to 14% repaid now including £1000 repaid and £1750 saved for repaying.

Happy with the progress being made over the last 7 months, all going well

Just submitted my meter readings so i can see if i can reduce my monthly DD for gas & elec. Even £10 a month would be good!

Need to get some really money saving/earning going on now. Its not really got back on track since March. Just sent £15 across to DH for debts but likely it will get spent on other things. Got £80 coming from my brother today and £20 off my friend friday which is then going to another friend who i owe £20 to lol.

Just about to check ebay for any new bids.

Monthly payment plus a little extra to cc means I have now paid 35% off, its creeping its way there.

Listed a few more things on Ebay this evening, just aiming for things that will be set at £5 or higher now Ebay have changed their listings :mad:

Everything seems slow and steady ATM but i read this quote today and it applies to me right about now and probably a few others
