  • No motivation today!!

    So much studying to be doing, but just can't find any inspiration to even start.

    Might see if I have any extra money for overpayments instead...
    March 2013 LBM so here goes....PAID OFF £6944! Unfortunately have built it all back up again! Amounts to be added up soon! Scare myself into action! 30/05/2018 LBM 2
  • £15 paid off of credit card with DCA. Its down to £1200 now. I have a direct debit for this of £50 on 1st of each month, so it will go down again on 1st November. Keen to just push on with this and get it gone!!

    Feeling like £1000 is such a small amount, which is silly, because its not, but I just want it gone....

  • Well done. Every little bit helps. Just take some time to have a look at how far you have come! Keep going, being debt free is now so much more in reach.
    Christmas Crazy :rotfl:

    Love de-cluttering, to the point I don't really own much anymore. :rotfl:

    2014 IS going to be a good year :j

    I guess I have come far, paid off over £3000 since March. Just soooo happy that I am more than half way :)

  • 53.19% paid off

    This is an expensive month, car tax, Mot and insurance all due, so might not be doing much debt busting :(

    Have spent this morning looking for new jobs relevant to the course I am studying, going to apply for some of these, as dreading going back to my job.

    Would like to go into the new year with £2500 of debt left to pay. Feel this goal is totally realistic.

    Read the whole of Bridget Jones new book yesterday, makes me giggle that when stressed she eats grated cheese and drinks wine... Think ive had a few days like that hehehehe.

    Anyway, back to these applications..
